Pegram v. Herdrich, 530 U.S. 211 (2000), was a
United States Supreme Court case that held that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 does not provide a remedy for coverage determinations by health maintenance organizations. The case is important because by excluding suits involving coverage determinations from the Act, it does not pre-empt state law remedies.[1]
