Pegram v. Herdrich, 530 U.S. 211 (2000) is a United States Supreme Court case that held that ERISA 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 ERISA regime, state law remedies are not preempted by the legislation.
