Kentucky Association of Health Plans, Inc. v. Miller
United States Supreme Court
538 U.S. 329 (2003)
Relevant factsFree
Kentucky's Any Willing Provider (AWP) statutes prohibited health insurers from discriminating against healthcare providers and chiropractors willing to meet the insurer's own plan participation terms. The Kentucky Association of Health Plans and several HMOs (plaintiffs) challenged the AWP statutes as preempted by ERISA; the district court found the statutes related to ERISA plans but fell within ERISA's insurance-regulation exception to preemption, and the Sixth Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
IssueFree
Whether the Employee Retirement Income Security Act preempts state laws that regulate insurance.
