About This Settlement

A class action lawsuit alleged that Anthem wrongfully denied insurance coverage for proton beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer, despite the treatment being alleged as medically necessary. As a result, plaintiffs claimed they were forced to pay out of pocket for these treatments due to the allegedly unfair denial of benefits. Without admitting any wrongdoing, Anthem has agreed to a $3,625,000 settlement to resolve these allegations. This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
