"DOSS LAW FIRM FILES CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF THOUSANDS OF GEORGIA HEALTHCARE CONSUMERS MISLED BY ANTHEM “DECEPTIVE MARKETING SCHEME”
Well bless their hearts.
Do go on:
"Thousands of Georgia consumers were misled during the 2018 open enrollment period by “misrepresentations and omissions” from Anthem, Inc./Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, Inc. (Anthem) when they were told they would continue to have access to the doctors and specialists of Georgia’s largest health care provider."
That's according to a class action lawsuit filed yesterday by what appears to be a fairly large Peach State law firm. At issue is what appears to have been a serious case of bait-and-switch, where, at renewal time, Anthem assured folks that certain providers would indeed remain in-network, allegedly knowing this to have been, er, incorrect.
I can certainly see where folks would feel blindsided, especially if they'd been shopping for coverage based substantively on keeping their docs.
Be interesting to watch this play out.
