RILEY, Circuit Judge.
Jo Ortlieb (Ortlieb) was insured under a United Healthcare Choice Plus Plan (Plan) when she became seriously ill. Her treating physician prescribed Total Paren teral Nutrition (TPN). 1 Ortlieb requested coverage for TPN, but the defendants (collectively United Healthcare) denied coverage. After exhausting her administrative remedies, Ortlieb filed an action under the Employees Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (ERISA) to recover unpaid health care benefits. The district court 2 granted summary judgment in favor of United Healthcare. Ortlieb appeals. We affirm.
