Program Description
In October, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and its member insurers (BCBS) agreed to settle class action litigation alleging BCBS illegal price fixing through the BlueCard program. The settlement includes $2.8 billion in payments, largely to hospitals, and implementation of various measures to address administrative burden.

This webinar will include the information provided to the WHA Inhouse Legal Forum during its discussions of the settlement in October, November, and December.
