The suit was brought against Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, New Jersey's largest health insurer.
U.S. District Judge Faith Hochberg signed the settlement today. It will require Horizon to pay $1.2 million for previously denied claims and lift coverage limitations for eating disorders in the future.
More than 500 policyholders will receive payments.
Previously, the company limited treatment benefits because the disorders were classified as nonbiological in nature.

it is a scam. they are closing hospitals and these insurance companys are making obscene profits. they deny claims - if there is one industry that needs to be watched it is the health insurance industry. rates go up and payouts and benefits go down. it is a definite gotcha and collusion. they make bloomberg look like a pussycat

anyone know where I could find out more about this? I have HBCBS and had GBS as well as follow up surgery. They covered but not as much as they possibly should have.
