LA LEY RECOVERY SYSTEMS-OB, INC.,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

UNITEDHEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

________________________

(July 12, 2016)

Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, WILLIAM PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: 

UnitedHealthcare Insurance paid Dr. Olivio Blanco, Jr. less than what he 

requested in compensation for medical services he provided to a participant in an

employee health benefit plan administered by UnitedHealthcare. La Ley Recovery 

Systems-OB purchased Dr. Blanco’s claim and sued UnitedHealthcare. 

Construing the action as one under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 

of 1974, the district court granted summary judgment to UnitedHealthcare on the 

ground that Dr. Blanco and La Ley had failed to exhaust the administrative 

remedies available under the plan. La Ley appeals that judgment.

After reviewing the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the district 

court’s grant of summary judgment to UnitedHealthcare for the reasons given in 

the district court’s thorough opinion of June 28, 2015.

AFFIRMED.
