Filing Deadline: July 29, 2025
Eligibility: Healthcare providers paid by BCBS or Blue Plans from 2008–2024
A landmark class action antitrust settlement addressing claims that BCBS suppressed competition and underpaid providers through its BlueCard Program. If you provided healthcare services, equipment, or supplies to BCBS-insured patients between July 24, 2008, and October 4, 2024, you may be eligible to receive a portion of this historic settlement.
This is your opportunity to claim your share of the settlement fund and benefit from improved BCBS practices.
Eligibility: most U.S. providers who treated BCBS-insured patients during the settlement period qualify, unless employed/owned by BCBS or exclusively by government entities, or limited to specific services (e.g., prescription drugs, standalone dental/vision).
Payment: Compensation is based on your BCBS reimbursement amounts, adjusted for estimated antitrust impact.
Additional Benefits: BCBS will implement operational improvements, such as streamlined claims processing and transparent decision-making, for five years post-approval.
Claim Deadline: July 29, 2025.
