UnitedHealthcare and Oxford Health Insurance were hit with an ERISA lawsuit on Tuesday in Connecticut District Court. The suit, filed by St. Onge Steward Johnston & Reens on behalf of Jonathan A. Winter, Charlie Q. Winter and Rebecca E. Moore, accuses the defendants of wrongfully denying coverage for delivery of a baby and post-natal care performed by a home birth mid wife; according to the complaint, the defendants initially authorized the mid wife as an in-network provider, then reversed course after the baby was delivered. Counsel have not yet appeared for the defendants. The case is 3:23-cv-00523, Winter et al. v. Oxford Health Plans LLC et al.
