Anthem Blue Cross Faces Another Lawsuit Over Allegedly Misleading Consumers About its Provider Network
On Tuesday, a group of 33 Anthem Blue Cross members filed a lawsuit Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging that Anthem misrepresented the size of its physician networks and insurance benefits offered in plans sold through Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange. The lawsuit follows a class-action suit filed in July against the insurer for allegedly misleading consumers who enrolled in its health plans about which physicians and hospitals were included in its provider networks.
