# Highmark Lawsuit (Feb Deadline!)

December 19, 2007

[insurance](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/insurance), [rvu](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/rvu)

[Before I begin, it looks like there might be an important RVU update later today!]

From [hmosettlements.com](http://www.hmosettlements.com):

> On October 19, 2007, Highmark Inc., and Highmark West Virginia, Inc. d/b/a Mountain State Blue Cross and Blue Shield (“Highmark"), entered into a Settlement Agreement with physicians. The settling parties filed their Joint Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement on October 23, 2007; the court issued its preliminary approval order on November 19, 2007...
> 
> The deadline for submitted claims is **February 27, 2008**. Any questions regarding the settlement should be directed to the Highmark/Mountain State Settlement Administrator at 1-866-486-1725.

To make a long story short:

> The Complaint in the Action alleges, among other things, that between 1999 and the present, the Blue Plans, among others, engaged in a conspiracy to improperly deny, delay, and/or reduce payment to physicians, physician groups, and physician organizations by engaging in several types of allegedly improper conduct.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that the insurance companies might conspire to deny, delay, or reduce payments! Apparently, based on your claim $$ volume from 2004 through 2006, you are potentially entitled to money you earned, but was manipulated from you by BC/BS, Highmark, etc. You can find their [claim form on-line](http://hmosettlements.com/settlements/highmark/highmark-claimform.pdf), too.

Your deadline is Feb 27, so don't delay.
