In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation
Hospital, doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and other health care providers, along with individuals who purchased insurance, have brought suit against Blue Cross Blue Shield entities. This lawsuit, which one of the Blue entities recently referred to as “possibly the largest class actions ever pursued, affecting up to 100 million Americans,” [Doc. 629] is In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 2:13-cv-20000, an MDL case pending before Judge David Proctor in the Northern District of Alabama. Provider Plaintiffs allege that the Blues’ entities reached unlawful agreements to section the U.S. into discrete “Service Areas” in order to eliminate market competition and that prices have been affected as a result of this and other unfair practices.
