The proposed settlement was submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Anthony Mohr for approval. Once the settlement is approved, a letter will be sent out to all the class members. Class members are people whose individual heath care policies were canceled during that time period. Class members will be informed of the settlement agreement and told that they have the option of leaving the class and filing their own lawsuits.

All people who qualify for the class are automatically included, so if you receive this letter and want to be part of the class, you don’t have to do anything. You are already in the class. See Blue Cross Action—Should I Join the Class or Sue Individually? for more information on what it means to remain in the class.

If you don’t want to be part of the class you need to act quickly. You shouldn’t ignore this letter or procrastinate in dealing with it. If you have any doubt about whether you should leave or stay in the class, you can have your case evaluated by an experienced insurance litigation attorney at no risk. If you decide to proceed with your own individual lawsuit, you need to opt out of the class action, at least by the time specified in the letter. The sooner you act, the sooner you can file and resolve your own individual case.
