|
||||
You are not being sued. A federal court authorized this notice to you. It affects
|
||||
your rights. Please read it carefully. On November 30, 2020, the Honorable R. David
|
||||
Proctor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama granted
|
||||
preliminary approval of this class action Settlement. The Court directed the parties
|
||||
to send this notice. Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield’s records show that you may be
|
||||
a Settlement Class Member. You may be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement
|
||||
in the In re: Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation MDL 2406, N.D. Ala. Master
|
||||
File No. 2:13-cv-20000-RDP.

|
||||
for more information. 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. For more details about who is affected visit www.BCBSsettlement.com

|
||||
What can you get from the Settlement? Class Members who submit valid claims may
|
||||
receive a cash payment from the Net Settlement Fund. The Net Settlement Fund is
|
||||
estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion. This is after deducting attorneys’ fees,
|
||||
administration expenses and other costs from the $2.67 billion Settlement Fund.
