`
`THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`DISTRICT OF UTAH, CENTRAL DIVISION
`
`COMPLAINT
`
`Case No. 1:21-cv-00172-DBP
`
`R.J. and T.H., individually and on behalf of
`L.S. a minor,
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`vs.
`
`OPTIMA HEALTH
`
`Defendant.
`
`Plaintiffs R.J. and T.H., individually and on behalf of L.S. a minor, through their
`
`undersigned counsel, complain and allege against Defendant Optima Health (“Optima”) as
`
`follows:
`
`PARTIES, JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`1. R.J., T.H., and L.S. are natural persons residing in Chesapeake, Virginia. R.J. is L.S.’s
`
`mother and T.H. is R.J.’s domestic partner.
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.3 Page 2 of 15
`
`2. Optima is an insurance company headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and was the
`
`insurer and claims administrator, as well as the fiduciary, for the insurance plan providing
`
`coverage for the Plaintiffs (“the Plan”) during the treatment at issue in this case.
`
`3. The Plan is a fully-insured welfare benefits plan. R.J. and T.H. were participants in the
`
`Plan and L.S. was a beneficiary of the Plan at all relevant times. R.J. was the plan
`
`participant until July 1, 2020, under an individual healthcare.gov plan. Following that
`
`date, Plaintiffs obtained coverage through T.H.’s employer and he became the plan
`
`participant. Optima was the insurer responsible for plan administration at all relevant
`
`times.
`
`4. L.S. received medical care and treatment at Triumph Youth Services (“Triumph”) from
`
`January 2, 2020, to September 17, 2020. Triumph is a licensed residential treatment
`
`facility located in Box Elder County Utah, which provides sub-acute inpatient treatment
`
`to adolescents with mental health, behavioral, and/or substance abuse problems.
`
`5. Optima, denied claims for payment of L.S.’s medical expenses in connection with his
`
`treatment at Triumph.
`
`6. This Court has jurisdiction over this case under 29 U.S.C. §1132(e)(1) and 28 U.S.C.
`
`§1331.
`
`7. Venue is appropriate under 29 U.S.C. §1132(e)(2) and 28 U.S.C. §1391(c) based on
`
`ERISA’s nationwide service of process and venue provisions, because Optima does
`
`business in Utah, and the treatment at issue took place in Utah. In addition, venue in Utah
`
`will save the Plaintiffs significant costs in litigating this case. Finally, in light of the
`
`sensitive nature of the medical treatment at issue, it is the Plaintiffs’ desire that the case
`
`be resolved in the State of Utah where it is more likely their privacy will be preserved.

`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.4 Page 3 of 15
`
`8. The remedies the Plaintiffs seek are for the benefits due under the terms of the Plan, and
`
`for appropriate equitable relief under 29 U.S.C. §1132(a)(3) based on the Defendant’s
`
`violation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (“MHPAEA”),
`
`an award of prejudgment interest, an award of consequential damages for failure to abide
`
`by the terms of the insurance contract, and an award of attorney fees and costs pursuant
`
`to 29 U.S.C. §1132(g).
`
`BACKGROUND FACTS
`
`Triumph
`
`9. L.S. was admitted to Triumph on January 2, 2020.
`
`10. In a letter dated January 7, 2020, Optima denied payment for L.S.’s treatment. The letter
`
`stated in part:
`
`A case manager with Optima Health has reviewed your acute care stay with an
`Optima Medical Director. Based on the medical information provided by the
`utilization review staff of the hospital we are unable to approve the payment for
`the acute care hospital stay at this time. …
`
`The requested service is a specific benefit exclusion as described in your
`Evidence of Coverage or Summary Plan Document. Per the Exclusion and
`Limitations section:
`
`Residential Treatment center care or care in another non-skilled settings [sic] are
`not covered services unless the treatment setting qualifies as a substance use
`disorder treatment facility licensed to provide continuous structured 24 hour a day
`program of drug or alcohol treatment and rehabilitation including 24 hour a day
`nursing care, and services are not merely custodial, residential, or domiciliary in
`nature.
`
`11. Optima additionally sent the Plaintiff a letter dated January 8, 2020, which was largely
`
`identical to the January 7, 2020, letter with the only notable exception being the dates of
`
`service were different.
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.5 Page 4 of 15
`
`12. On June 18, 2020, R.J. submitted a level one appeal of the denial of L.S.’s treatment. She
`
`pointed out that neither of the letters she had received showed the correct dates of service
`
`and each had also mischaracterized L.S.’s treatment as an “acute care stay.” R.J. wrote
`
`that the service at issue was residential treatment care, not acute hospitalization.
`
`13. R.J. wrote that she was entitled to a full, fair, and thorough review conducted by
`
`appropriately qualified reviewers. She stated that L.S.’s treatment was a covered benefit
`
`under the terms of the Plan.
`
`14. She quoted portions of the “What is Covered” portion of the summary plan description
`
`which stated in part:
`
`Inpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment, Detoxification
`and Rehabilitation Services
`
`Covered services include the following provided in an inpatient facility or
`substance use disorder treatment facility as Medically Necessary:
`
`
`•
`Individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, psychological testing;
`• Counseling with family members to assist with the patient’s diagnosis and
`treatment;
`• Convulsive therapy, detoxification and rehabilitation treatment;
`• Hospital and inpatient professional charges in any Hospital or facility
`required by state law.
`
`She then quoted the definition of inpatient treatment which stated:
`
`
`Mental health or Substance Use Disorder services delivered on a twenty-four hour
`per day basis in a Hospital, alcohol or drug rehabilitation facility, an intermediate
`care facility or an inpatient unit of a mental health treatment center.
`
`Lastly, she quoted the definition of an intermediate care facility which stated:
`
`
`“Intermediate care facility” means a licensed, residential public or private facility
`that is not a Hospital and that is operated primarily for the purpose of providing a
`continuous, structured twenty-four hour per day, state-approved program of
`inpatient substance use disorder services.
`
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.6 Page 5 of 15
`
`15. R.J. stated that L.S. clearly met these terms and provisions and asked Optima to identify
`
`more specifically the basis on which it was denying payment. She stated that Triumph
`
`was a licensed residential treatment facility which operated in accordance with governing
`
`state regulations.
`
`16. R.J. contended that the denial of payment violated MHPAEA. She stated that according
`
`to MHPAEA, insurers were compelled to offer coverage for behavioral health treatment
`
`“at parity” with analogous medical or surgical benefits.
`
`17. She stated that Triumph was an intermediate level care facility providing mental health
`
`and substance use disorder treatment analogous to the intermediate level care provided by
`
`skilled nursing and hospice facilities for medical and surgical conditions.
`
`18. She argued that Optima could not impose treatment limitations on mental health
`
`treatment that it did not equally apply to medical or surgical treatments in the same
`
`classification.
`
`19. She quoted Optima’s exclusion for residential treatment care which stated:
`
`Residential treatment center care or care in another non-skilled settings [sic] are
`not Covered Services unless the treatment setting qualifies as a substance use
`disorder treatment facility licensed to provide continuous, structured, 24 hour a
`day program of drug or alcohol treatment and rehabilitation including 24 hour a
`day nursing care, and services are not merely custodial, residential, or domiciliary
`in nature.
`
`20. R.J. argued that Optima could not exclude residential treatment for mental health care in
`
`this manner without imposing an unlawful nonquantitative treatment limitation prohibited
`
`by MHPAEA.
`
`21. In addition, R.J. shared a report from Milliman Inc. entitled Addiction and Mental Health
`
`vs Physical Health: Widening Disparities in Network Use and Provider Reimbursement
`
`which showed that individuals were over five times more likely to receive out-of-network
`
`
`
`5
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.7 Page 6 of 15
`
`behavioral health treatment than they were to receive out-of-network medical or surgical
`
`treatment.
`
`22. She stated that she checked Optima’s in-network coverage within 100 miles of her home
`
`and found twenty-four hospice facilities and seventy skilled nursing facilities. However,
`
`although she was able to find a few mental health hospitals, she found zero programs
`
`within a hundred mile radius which Optima classified as in-network residential treatment.
`
`23. R.J. contended that Optima’s exclusion of these services was deliberate, capricious, and
`
`was done for “no justifiable reason.” She requested that Optima perform a parity
`
`compliance analysis of the Plan and to provide her with a physical copy of the results of
`
`this analysis. She also requested to be provided with a copy of all documents under which
`
`the Plan was operated.
`
`24. In a letter dated July 21, 2020, Optima denied payment on the grounds that “Residential
`
`or Sub-Acute Level of Care or treatment is not a covered service.”
`
`25. In a letter dated August 18, 2020, Optima again upheld the denial of payment for L.S.’s
`
`treatment. The letter stated in pertinent part:
`
`Your request has been thoroughly reviewed by the Plan’s Medical Director who is
`board certified in Internal Medicine. Additionally, a Medical Director board
`certified in Child Psychiatry conducted a second and separate review. Upon this
`review, it is the decision of the Plan to uphold the original denial. The requested
`service is a specific benefit exclusion as described in your Evidence of Coverage
`Plan Document. Please reference your Evidence of Coverage, Section 7
`Exclusions and Limitations, which specifically states:
`
`“Residential treatment center care or care in another non-skilled settings
`[sic] are not Covered Services unless the treatment setting qualifies as a
`substance use disorder treatment facility licensed to provide continuous,
`structured, 24 hour a day program of alcohol treatment and rehabilitation
`including 24 hour a day nursing care, services are not merely custodial,
`residential, or domiciliary in nature.” (emphasis in original)
`
`
`
`
`6
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.8 Page 7 of 15
`
`26. On October 26, 2020, R.J. appealed the denial of payment for L.S.’s treatment for dates
`
`of service July 1, 2020, to September 17, 2020.1 She stated that Optima continued to
`
`misclassify L.S.’s treatment as an “acute care stay” when it clearly was not. She stated
`
`that this caused her to have “significant concerns regarding the validity” of Optima’s
`
`reviews.
`
`27. She reiterated that L.S.’s treatment was a covered benefit under the terms of the Plan and
`
`that Triumph qualified as an intermediate care facility and should have been approved on
`
`that basis alone.
`
`28. She contended that Optima continued to violate MHPAEA through its imposition of
`
`treatment limitations on residential treatment which it did not apply to analogous medical
`
`or surgical care.
`
`29. R.J. again identified two primary examples of Optima’s violation of MHPAEA: the first
`
`was its limitation of residential treatment to substance use facilities, and the second was
`
`its use of practices which severely limited the availability of in-network residential
`
`treatment providers and left her with essentially no in-network treatment options for
`
`mental health, but dozens of available in-network medical or surgical facilities.
`
`30. R.J. again asked Optima to conduct a MHPAEA compliance analysis and to provide her
`
`with a physical copy of the results of this analysis. She stated that Optima had only
`
`partially complied with her previous request for a copy of the governing plan documents
`
`and she had thus far not received any guidelines for mental health residential treatment.
`
`
`1 Effective July 1, 2020, T.H. became the primary plan participant. While the Plaintiffs still
`received coverage under the Plan, they had a new insurance and group ID number and submitted
`an additional appeal of the denial for L.S.’s treatment after July 1, 2020.
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.9 Page 8 of 15
`
`31. She wrote that L.S. was not receiving, nor did he require, substance abuse treatment, but
`
`he received residential treatment to effectively treat his mental health and behavioral
`
`disorders. She contended that it was nonsensical to utilize substance abuse criteria to
`
`evaluate the medical necessity of someone without a substance abuse problem.
`
`32. R.J. argued that the MCG criteria utilized by Optima were flawed and inconsistent with
`
`generally accepted standards of care. She alleged that these guidelines were designed to
`
`deliberately restrict the availability of residential treatment care in order to save money
`
`for the corporations that utilized them.
`
`33. R.J. asked Optima to respond to each of the issues she had raised and once again asked to
`
`be provided with a copy of the documents under which the Plan was operated. She
`
`elaborated that she was specifically requesting:
`
`all governing plan documents, the summary plan description, any insurance
`policies in place for the benefits I am seeking, and any administrative service
`agreements that exist. In addition, in order to evaluate whether the plan is
`complying with the MHPAEA, please provide me any clinical guidelines or
`medical necessity criteria utilized in your determination, as well as their medical
`or surgical equivalents so that I may conduct a parity analysis of my plan’s mental
`health coverage. Please be advised that the criteria I am requesting includes the
`plan’s mental health, substance use disorder, skilled nursing facility, subacute
`inpatient rehabilitation, hospice or other intermediate medical/surgical or mental
`health and substance use disorder criteria regardless of whether the criteria were
`used to evaluate this claim. In addition, please provide me any reports or opinions
`provided to you from any physician or other professional. Finally, please provide
`me with the names, qualifications, and healthcare claim denial rates of all
`individuals who reviewed this claim or with whom you consulted about this
`claim.
`
`34. R.J. wrote that Optima had partially complied with her request and she had received
`
`criteria for end of life care, inpatient rehabilitation, medical admission recovery facility
`
`care, and criteria for substance related disorders. R.J. asked that if Optima did not possess
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.10 Page 9 of 15
`
`these documents for whatever reason or was not acting on behalf of the Plan
`
`Administrator in this regard that it forward her request to the appropriate entity.
`
`35. In a letter dated December 3, 2020, Optima upheld the denial of payment under the
`
`justification that “Residential or Sub-Acute Level of Care or treatment is not a
`
`Covered Service.” (emphasis in original)
`
`36. The Plaintiffs exhausted their pre-litigation appeal obligations under the terms of the Plan
`
`and ERISA.
`
`37. The denial of benefits for L.S.’s treatment was a breach of contract and caused R.J. and
`
`T.H. to incur medical expenses that should have been paid by the Plan in an amount
`
`totaling over $98,000.
`
`FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
`
`(Claim for Breach of the Terms of the Insurance Policy))
`
`38. Optima and the Plan failed to provide coverage for L.S.’s treatment in violation of the
`
`express terms of the Plan which promise benefits to employees and their dependents for
`
`medically necessary treatment of mental health and substance use disorders.
`
`39. The denial letters produced by Optima do little to elucidate whether Optima conducted a
`
`meaningful analysis of the Plaintiffs’ appeals or whether it provided them with the “full
`
`and fair review” to which they are entitled.
`
`40. Optima failed to substantively respond to the issues presented in R.J.’s appeals and did
`
`not meaningfully address the arguments or concerns that the Plaintiffs raised during the
`
`appeals process.
`
`41. In addition, Optima made repeated mistakes inconsistent with a thorough review such as
`
`referring to L.S.’s non-acute residential treatment care as, “your acute care stay.”
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.11 Page 10 of 15
`
`Additionally, Optima only partially complied with the Plaintiffs’ request for documents.
`
`42. The actions of Optima and the Plan in failing to provide coverage for L.S.’s medically
`
`necessary treatment are a violation of the terms of the Plan and its medical necessity
`
`criteria.
`
`SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
`
`(Claim for Violation of MHPAEA Under 29 U.S.C. §1132(a)(3))
`
`43. Generally speaking, MHPAEA requires insurance plans to provide no less generous
`
`coverage for treatment of mental health and substance use disorders than they provide for
`
`treatment of medical/surgical disorders.
`
`44. MHPAEA prohibits insurance plans from imposing treatment limitations on mental
`
`health or substance use disorder benefits that are more restrictive than the predominant
`
`treatment limitations applied to substantially all medical and surgical benefits and also
`
`makes illegal separate treatment limitations that are applicable only with respect to
`
`mental health or substance use disorder benefits. 29 U.S.C.§1185a(a)(3)(A)(ii).
`
`45. Impermissible nonquantitative treatment limitations under MHPAEA include, but are not
`
`limited to, medical management standards limiting or excluding benefits based on
`
`medical necessity; refusal to pay for higher-cost treatment until it can be shown that a
`
`lower-cost treatment is not effective; and restrictions based on geographic location,
`
`facility type, provider specialty, or other criteria that limit the scope or duration of
`
`benefits for mental health or substance use disorder treatment. 29 C.F.R.
`
`§2590.712(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F), and (H).
`
`46. The medical necessity criteria used by Optima for the intermediate level mental health
`
`treatment benefits at issue in this case are more stringent or restrictive than the medical
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.12 Page 11 of 15
`
`necessity criteria the Plan applies to analogous intermediate levels of medical or surgical
`
`benefits.
`
`47. Comparable benefits offered by the Plan for medical/surgical treatment analogous to the
`
`benefits the Plan excluded for L.S.’s treatment include sub-acute inpatient treatment
`
`settings such as skilled nursing facilities, inpatient hospice care, and rehabilitation
`
`facilities.
`
`48. For none of these types of treatment does Optima exclude or restrict coverage of
`
`medical/surgical conditions by imposing restrictions such as a substance abuse
`
`requirement for sub-acute mental healthcare. To do so, would violate not only the terms
`
`of the insurance contract, but also generally accepted standards of medical practice.
`
`49. When Optima and the Plan receive claims for intermediate level treatment of medical and
`
`surgical conditions, they provide benefits and pay the claims as outlined in the terms of
`
`the Plan based on generally accepted standards of medical practice.
`
`50. Optima and the Plan evaluated L.S.’s mental health claims using medical necessity
`
`criteria that deviate from generally accepted standards of medical practice. This process
`
`resulted in a disparity because the Plan denied coverage for mental health benefits when
`
`the analogous levels of medical or surgical benefits would have been paid.
`
`51. R.J. identified two primary instances of Optima’s violation of MHPAEA. The first was a
`
`categorical exclusion of mental health residential treatment and the second was a series of
`
`systemic processes which artificially limited the availability of in-network mental
`
`healthcare.
`
`52. Optima’s denial letters consistently state that residential treatment is not covered except
`
`in the event it is rendered for the treatment of substance abuse. Optima also included
`
`
`
`11
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.13 Page 12 of 15
`
`language from the insurance policy which confirmed that mental health residential
`
`treatment was an excluded service under the terms of the Plan.
`
`53. Optima’s exclusion of mental health residential treatment is a facial violation of
`
`MHPAEA because Optima purports to provide benefits for mental health treatment but
`
`imposes a nonquantitative treatment limitation on the face of the Plan language that is
`
`more stringent for treatment of mental health disorders in a residential treatment setting
`
`than for treatment of medical and surgical conditions provided in analogous settings such
`
`as skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and hospice facilities. This disparate limitation is
`
`repeatedly found not only in Optima’s denial letters but is also found in the plain
`
`language of the insurance policy.
`
`54. The other primary example R.J. offered of the disparate treatment Optima offered
`
`between mental health and medical or surgical services in the same classification was
`
`Optima’s use of practices which severely limited the availability of in-network mental
`
`health services.
`
`55. Optima restricts the availability of benefits from network residential facilities in a manner
`
`that is more restrictive than the limitations it imposes for network skilled nursing, hospice
`
`or rehabilitation facilities. R.J. provided an example of this by showing that while there
`
`were dozens of intermediate level medical or surgical inpatient facilities near her home,
`
`she was unable to find a single network residential treatment facility within a hundred
`
`miles.
`
`56. R.J. shared documentation from Milliman which demonstrated that one of the most
`
`prevalent ways in which insurers and health plans violated MHPAEA was in the form of
`
`great disparities between the availability of network providers for mental health disorders
`
`
`
`12
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.14 Page 13 of 15
`
`and network providers for medical and surgical treatment: insureds were over five times
`
`more likely to find available network medical or surgical care than they were to find
`
`available network mental healthcare.
`
`57. In this manner, the Defendant violated 29 C.F.R. §2590.712(c)(4)(i) because the Plan, as
`
`written or in operation, used processes, strategies, standards, or other factors to limit
`
`coverage for mental health or substance use disorder treatment in a way that was
`
`inconsistent with, and more stringently applied, than the processes, strategies, standards
`
`or other factors used to limit coverage for medical and surgical treatment in the same
`
`classification.
`
`58. Optima and the Plan did not produce many of the documents the Plaintiffs requested to
`
`evaluate medical necessity and MHPAEA compliance, nor did they address in any
`
`substantive capacity the Plaintiffs’ allegations that Optima and the Plan were not in
`
`compliance with MHPAEA.
`
`59. The violations of MHPAEA by Optima and the Plan are breaches of fiduciary duty and
`
`also give the Plaintiffs the right to obtain appropriate equitable remedies as provided
`
`under 29 U.S.C. §1132(a)(3) including, but not limited to:
`
`
`
`(a) A declaration that the actions of the Defendant violate MHPAEA;
`
`(b) An injunction ordering the Defendant to cease violating MHPAEA and requiring
`
`compliance with the statute;
`
`(c) An order requiring the reformation of the terms of the Plan and the medical necessity
`
`criteria utilized by the Defendant to interpret and apply the terms of the Plan to ensure
`
`compliance with MHPAEA;
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-00172-DBP Document 2 Filed 12/30/21 PageID.15 Page 14 of 15
`
`(d) An order requiring disgorgement of funds obtained by or retained by the Defendant as
`
`a result of their violations of MHPAEA;
`
`(e) An order requiring an accounting by the Defendant of the funds wrongly withheld
`
`from participants and beneficiaries of the Plan as a result of the Defendant’s
`
`violations of MHPAEA;
`
`(f) An order based on the equitable remedy of surcharge requiring the Defendant to
`
`provide payment to the Plaintiffs as make-whole relief for their loss;
`
`(g) An order equitably estopping the Defendant from denying the Plaintiffs’ claims in
`
`violation of MHPAEA; and
`
`(h) An order providing restitution from the Defendant to the Plaintiffs for their loss
`
`arising out of the Defendant’s violation of MHPAEA.
`
`60. In addition, Plaintiffs are entitled to an award of prejudgment interest pursuant to U.C.A.
`
`§15-1-1, and attorney fees and costs pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §1132(g)
`
`WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs seek relief as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Judgment in the total amount that is owed for L.S.’s medically necessary treatment at
`
`Triumph under the terms of the Plan, plus pre and post-judgment interest to the date
`
`of payment;
`
`Appropriate equitable relief under 29 U.S.C. §1132(a)(3) as outlined in Plaintiffs’
`
`Second Cause of Action;
`
`Attorney fees and costs incurred together with other reasonably foreseen
`
`consequential damages; and
