Health Insurance Coverage Denials by Anthem Blue Cross of California
Anthem Blue Cross of California, a subsidiary of Anthem Inc., is among the largest health insurance providers in the United States, offering a range of health insurance plans that include individual and family plans and employer-sponsored group plans. It is also one of the largest health insurance companies in California and provides access to a vast network of healthcare providers and facilities, including doctors, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Members can choose to receive care from in-network or out-of-network providers.
Although Anthem Blue Cross of California promises to provide policy benefits, the health insurance company’s focus on profits and cost-containment may sometimes interfere with sound policy decisions that provide policyholders with the necessary benefits and coverage they deserve. In evaluating claims and complaints, Anthem may not always act in good faith towards their policyholders and make incorrect conclusions regarding policy coverage obligations to their insured members. This wrongful and bad faith denial of coverage can leave policyholders without crucial medical treatment or force them to pay significant out-of-pocket expenses to access necessary care.

Have You Been Denied Coverage for a Medical Procedure by Anthem Blue Cross of California?
We Have Won Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Punitive Damages
Your health insurance policy is a contract and health insurance companies must act fairly and in good faith. Failure to do so may entitle you to punitive damages.
Punitive damages are a form of compensation awarded when health insurance companies deny health coverage in bad faith. Punitive damages are intended to punish the health insurance company for their bad faith conduct in denying coverage for medical services.
Anthem has a track record of wrongfully denying coverage of procedures or treatments by limiting the definition of “medically necessary” or broadening the definition of “experimental.” For instance, Anthem previously denied coverage for Harvoni, which is a proven cure for individuals with persistent Hepatitis C infections. Anthem refused coverage for patients unless they had severe Hepatitis C, such as liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, because the drug was expensive. Denying coverage to sick individuals for not being sick enough is a completely inappropriate basis for refusing coverage.
