Physicians who treated patients covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) over a 16-year span ending in 2024 may be eligible for a payment from a $2.8 billion legal settlement. The deadline to submit a claim is July 29, 2025.
What is this settlement about?
The settlement stems from a class action lawsuit, In re: Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation, which alleged that BCBS entities violated antitrust laws by:
1 - Illegally dividing the U.S. into exclusive “service areas”
2 - Agreeing not to compete with each other in those areas
3 - Fixing prices for provider services
While BCBS denies any wrongdoing, both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of further litigation.
Who is eligible?
You may be part of the settlement class if you:
1 - Are a health care provider (individual or organization),
2 - Provided services, equipment, or supplies to patients insured by any BCBS plan,
3 - Did so between July 24, 2008, and October 4, 2024.
The term “Provider” is expansive, encompassing:
Physicians
Group practices
Hospitals
Ambulatory surgery centers
Dialysis centers
Imaging centers
Other healthcare facilities
When will payments be made?
Payments will be distributed to those who qualify after the court approves the settlement and all valid claims are processed. The timeline depends on the volume of claims and any disputes that arise.
