WellPoint Agrees To Pay $11.8M to Hospitals in Rescissions Case
WellPoint's Anthem Blue Cross subsidiary in California was accused of improperly rescinding members' health insurance policies after they submitted costly claims. Almost 500 California hospitals brought the lawsuit in 2006 after Anthem Blue Cross declined to pay hospital charges arising from the rescinded members' treatment. Indianapolis Star et al.
My question is what was done to help those poeople? I mean if the insurance company ABUSED the system like this... the Hospitals GOT some money out of some of the people... So what was done for those people who then got hassled by the hospitals and all... I feel that the insurance company needs to also pay the patients as well... Why? To insure that this will be avoided in the future.
But, it took so long, and the poor patients who ended up in collections with bad credit, and maybe lost homes, and jobs, and lives... Well what about them?
