United of Omaha v. Business Men's Assurance Company of America
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
HANSEN, Circuit Judge.
Business Men’s Assurance Company of America (BMA) appeals from an order of the district court granting summary judgment to United of Omaha (United) in a dispute under Missouri state law over which company was responsible to pay health insurance benefits. BMA argues that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq., preempts United’s claim and, alternatively, that the district court erroneously interpreted and applied Missouri law, on issues of both liability and damages. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
