There seems to be a mistake with you source. At one point it says:
“Empire Healthchoice Assurance, Inc. vs. McVeigh, 396 F.3d 136 (2005) — reversed 5-4 (Dissenting: Breyer, Kennedy, Souter, Alito)

Further down it says: “Health Insurance (Reimbursement of insurance benefits): … The Supreme Court upheld Sotomayor’s ruling in a 5-4 opinion. Justices Breyer, Kennedy, Souter, and Alito dissented. Empire Healthchoice Assurance, Inc. vs. McVeigh, 396 F.3d 136 (2005)”

So it may be 4 of 6 reversed. (66% as opposed to 83%). It depends which one is accurate.
