1Opinion of the Court
COX, Circuit Judge:
Lordmann Enterprises, Inc. (“Lord-mann”), a home health care provider, sued Equicor, Inc. (“Equicor”), an insurer under an ERISA 1 plan, to recover charges for nursing care provided to an Equicor insured. Lordmann asserted four different claims, and the district court granted Equicor summary judgment on all four. The significant issue raised on appeal is whether ERISA preempts Lordmann’s Georgia law claim of negligent misrepresentation. We hold that it does not. On the other claims, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Equicor.
