- Title
TPA WITH CONTROL OVER PLAN CAN BE LIABLE.
- Abstract
The article discusses the U.S. court case LifeCare Management Services LLC v. Insurance Management Administrators which deals with retirement income. The case was filed after the third-party administrator (TPA) refused to pay for the treatment of an injured employee. The Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the TPA can be held liable for retirement income under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act if it exercises control over administration of plan and claims determinations.
