1998Winchester, supra at 1484 (Utah common-law decisions interpreting the phrase “accidental bodily injury” in insurance policies are saved from preemption, and are not subject to the deemer clause because the plan was insured rather than self-funded); see also Seymour, supra at 1023 (Utah statute governing unilateral modification of insurance contracts is saved from preemption, and is not subject to the deemer clause because plan was insured); Cutting, supra at 1295 (Wisconsin law setting limits on a plan’s right of subrogation is preempted by ERISA because the plan was self-funded).

1998Similarly, we are not persuaded by Cutting v. Jerome Foods, Inc., 993 F.2d 1293 (7th Cir.1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 916 , 114 S.Ct. 308 , 126 L.Ed.2d 255 (1993), Seymour, supra or Winchester, supra. These cases ultimately follow FMC Corp. in standing for the proposition that Because a self-funded plan may not be deemed an insurance company, the saving clause does not save state insurance laws from preemption when applied to such a plan directly.
