Thousands of patients could have been forced to pay thousands more than necessary as a result of fraud allegedly committed by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of New York, a new lawsuit claims.
Pollock Cohen LLP and Walden Macht Haran & Williams filed the class action lawsuit this week against the major insurer, accusing Anthem of publishing an inaccurate directory of doctors who were supposed to accept the insurance. Instead, the "ghost networks" caused patients to fork over substantial amounts of money out of pocket because they were out of network.
"Naturally, if you see a list of professionals and the services they offer issued by a provider, you would expect those to be covered by their insurance plans," Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek.
