A proposed class action settlement has been reached and approved by the presiding Courts to resolve four class action lawsuits against affiliated companies often generally referred to as Nationwide Insurance or Allied Insurance. The Courts will hold fairness hearings as described in the Class Notice to consider final approval of the settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate. In the Lawsuits, the Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants improperly reduced or denied insurance benefits for medical or rehabilitative services after submitting medical bills to medical review vendors. Nationwide/Allied denies any wrongdoing, and contends that review of medical bills protects against excessive charges and helps to preserve insurance benefits. The Courts have made no final rulings on the merits of the claims or defenses made in the Lawsuits. A description of the Settlement Class, the companies included as “Nationwide/Allied”, and the terms of the settlement and release are available in the Class Notice posted on this site. You can also view the full Settlement Agreement, copies of pertinent Court orders and other court filings, and other information concerning the settlement and the Lawsuits. Additional assistance can be obtained by calling toll free 1-877-625-9426.
