Physicians who provided health care services to patients insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans may be eligible to submit a claim for a share of the $2.8 billion settlement reached in November 2024. This settlement, which is the largest antitrust settlement in the history of the U.S. health care sector, is the result of a class action lawsuit against BCBS initiated over ten years ago by physicians, hospitals, large health systems, and provider organizations.  Plaintiffs alleged that BCBS violated the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 by colluding to limit competition and lower reimbursement.

The official website for Settlement Class Members in the Blue Cross Blue Shield antitrust litigation has been created and includes important information such as FAQs, timeframes to submit claims, and provider and facility eligibility. It also is where providers and facilities must submit claims for a share of the Net Settlement Fund. The deadline to submit a claim is July 29, 2025. Physicians are encouraged to visit the BCBS Provider Settlement Website for more information.

In addition to the monetary payment, BCBS has agreed to implement changes that will benefit physicians and other providers by increasing transparency, efficiency and accountability in claims processing, including the process of BlueCard claims.
