Litigation

The lawsuit alleges that Anthem fails to meet its legal obligations to arrange for timely access to care for its members as required under California law. Anthem is also accused of not responding in a timely manner — or at all — “to requests for authorization” for post-acute care for its members.


Lawsuit Against Anthem Enters Appeal Process

Earlier this week, CHA took the next step in an important lawsuit against Anthem Blue Cross. The good news: A Los Angeles Superior Court previously sided with CHA on the merits of the case and recently denied Anthem’s efforts to close off appeal. The bad news: The court previously decided it would “abstain” from further involvement — that is, from providing a remedy. CHA has now filed paperwork to appeal that abstention and seek remedy.
