Empire HealthChoice Assurance, Inc. v. McVeigh

Empire HealthChoice Assurance, Inc. v. McVeigh, 547 U.S. 677 (2006), is a United States Supreme Court case.

The wife of this federal employee had won $3.2 million in a separate lawsuit from those who she claimed had caused her husband's injuries.

Empire Healthchoice Assurance sued her for reimbursement of the benefits paid to him on the grounds that a provision in the federal insurance plan required paid benefits to be reimbursed when the beneficiary is compensated for an injury by a third party.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled against the health insurance company.
