Joseph M. Novak v. Irwin Yacht and Marine Corporation Standard Security Insurance Company of New York Cigna Healthplan of Florida

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided March 22, 1993No. 92-2161PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

DUBINA, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff Joseph M. Novak (“Novak”) brings this appeal from the district court’s grant of summary judgment for defendant CIGNA Healthplan of Florida (“CIGNA”) on his suit for failure to pay medical expenses. Novak was a member of a group health plan administered by his former employer, Irwin Yacht and Marine (“Irwin”). 1 The district court found that since Irwin terminated the policy prior to the date that Novak incurred his medical expenses and because equitable estoppel cannot apply against CIGNA, CIGNA was not liable for Novak’s medical expenses. We affirm.
