Hughes v. Boston Mutual Life Insurance

STAHL, Circuit Judge.

In this appeal, plaintiff-appellant George Hughes (“Hughes”) contends that the district court erred in granting summary judgment for defendant-appellee Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Boston Mutual”) on Hughes’ claim of entitlement to disability benefits under a group insurance plan. The lower court allowed the motion on the basis that Hughes’ receipt of medical treatment for symptoms of multiple sclerosis triggered the “pre-existing condition” exclusion in the insurance policy issued to Hughes by Boston Mutual. We vacate and remand for further proceedings.
