WHAT IS THIS SETTLEMENT ABOUT?

This settlement, arising from a class action antitrust lawsuit called In re:
Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation MDL 2406, N.D. Ala. Master File No.
2:13-cv-20000-RDP (the “Settlement”), was reached on behalf of individuals and
companies that purchased or received health insurance provided or administered
by a Blue Cross Blue Shield company. Class Representatives (“Plaintiffs”)
reached a Settlement on October 16, 2020 with the Blue Cross Blue Shield
Association (“BCBSA”) and Settling Individual Blue Plans. BCBSA and Settling
Individual Blue Plans are called “Settling Defendants.”

Plaintiffs allege that Settling Defendants violated antitrust laws by entering
into an agreement not to compete with each other and to limit competition among
themselves in selling health insurance and administrative services for health
insurance. Settling Defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing and assert
that their conduct results in lower healthcare costs and greater access to care
for their customers. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Instead,
Plaintiffs and Settling Defendants have agreed to a Settlement to avoid the risk
and cost of further litigation.

If approved by the Court, the Settlement will establish a $2.67 billion
Settlement Fund. Settling Defendants will also agree to make changes in the way
they do business that Plaintiffs believe will increase the opportunities for
competition in the market for health insurance.


WHO IS INCLUDED?

The Court certified two Settlement Classes in this case―a Damages Class and an
Injunctive Relief Class. For more information about these classes, please see
FAQ 7.
