Description
Hermann Hospital (Hermann) brought suit to recover payment for services it provided to a patient whose husband was a participant in an ERISA-governed welfare benefit plan. Hermann claims entitlement to the payments as an assignee of the covered patient. The district court rendered a take nothing judgment, holding that Hermann did not have standing to bring suit as no valid assignment had occurred. Finding that the district court erred, we reverse and render judgment in favor of Hermann.
