What is the lawsuit about? Plaintiffs claim that the Blue + Cross Blue Shield Association and Settling Individual Blue Plans (collectively, + "Settling Defendants") violated antitrust laws by entering into an agreement not + to compete with each other and to limit competition among themselves in selling + health insurance and administrative services for health insurance. Settling Defendants + deny all claims. The Settling Defendants have asserted that their conduct results + in lower healthcare costs and greater access to care for their customers. The Court + has not decided who is right. Who is affected? You may be eligible to receive payment + if you are an Individual, Insured Group (and their employees) or Self-Funded Account + (and their employees) that purchased or were enrolled in a Blue Cross or Blue Shield + health insurance or administrative services plan during one of the two Settlement + Class Periods. Government accounts are excluded from the Class. The Settlement Class + Period for Individuals and Insured Groups is from February 7, 2008, through October + 16, 2020. The Settlement Class Period for Self-Funded Accounts is from September + 1, 2015 through October 16, 2020. Dependents, beneficiaries (including minors), + and non-employees are NOT eligible to receive payment. All Individuals, Insured + Groups, and Self-Funded Accounts that purchased or were enrolled in a Blue Cross + or Blue Shield health insurance or administrative services plan during the applicable + Class Period will also benefit from the parts of the Settlement requiring Settling + Defendants to change certain of their practices that were alleged to be anticompetitive. + Dependents, beneficiaries (including minors), and non-employees will benefit from + this part of the Settlement.
