A class-action suit alleging Health Care Service Corporation, the parent company of health insurance behemoth Blue Cross Blue Shield, improperly refused to pay for mental health services, has ended in a $3.75 million settlement. Attorneys will receive $1.13 million.
Nursing mothers who said Blue Cross illegally denied coverage of lactation services suffered setbacks in their class action complaint against the insurer, including the removal of their claims for sex discrimination under federal law.
