As you are likely aware, a settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) regarding claims that certain clauses in contracts between BCBSM and some hospitals in Michigan violate federal and state laws and inflated prices for medical care at certain Michigan hospitals. The Settlement includes all direct purchasers of health care services from a Michigan General Acute Care Hospital between Jan. 1, 2006 and June 23, 2014.
Note: you did not need to be a BCBSM member between Jan. 1, 2006 and June 23, 2014 to be eligible for a settlement reimbursement.
We encourage anyone who feels that they may be entitled to reimbursement under this settlement agreement to contact the plaintiffs' legal team at 1.877.846.0588 or submit a claim form online.
Please note, to receive a payment, if one is owed, claims forms must be submitted by Nov. 16, 2014. Claim forms are available online or by calling 1.877.846.0588. The lawyers will coordinate the submission of the claim as well as the reimbursement. You will not be charged attorney fees. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your own expense.
As part of the litigation process, Priority Health shared claims data with the plaintiff law firms, who together with other law firms, are assisting plaintiffs. No other information from Priority Health is needed related to your claims. You will, however, need to submit proof of payment of your out-of-pocket charges in order to make a successful claim. This is outlined in the claims website. The best source of this information is your bank or credit card company through which you paid out of pocket for hospital services or the hospital where the services were provided.
The best source for more information about the case, including how to make a successful claim, is to contact Plaintiffs' legal team at 1.877.846.0588 or visit their website.
