Sanjiv Goel v. Screen Actors Guild-Pro
Dr. Sanjiv Goel treated an enrollee of the Screen Actors Guild-Producers Health Plan (the Plan), received $6,230.67 of the $56,658.63 he billed for that treatment, and, after receiving an assignment from his patient, filed this action against the Plan to recover the balance. Goel’s third amended complaint asserted one cause of action under section 502(a)(1)(B) of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.) (ERISA). After the trial court sustained the Plan’s demurrer to the third amended complaint without leave to amend and awarded the Plan attorneys’ fees under ERISA section 502(g)(1), Goel appealed. We reverse the order sustaining the Plan’s demurrer without leave to amend and the award of attorneys’ fees.
