At A Glance

This Alert Affects:
Patients who experienced trouble finding in-network care due to an inaccurate “find a doctor” directory or believed a provider was covered only to be hit with an out-of-network bill.
What’s Going On?
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether class action lawsuits can be filed against certain health insurance companies over “ghost networks” – that is, provider directories that are inflated with practitioners who are not actually in network or are otherwise unavailable.
How Could a Class Action Lawsuit Help?
A class action lawsuit could provide patients with money for out-of-network bills, travel expenses, inflated premiums and more. It could also force health insurance companies to ensure their directories are kept up to date and accurate.
