Blue Cross Blue Shield customers are expected to receive payments tied to a $2.67 billion class-action antitrust settlement involving the company and its subscribers. The court has resolved all appeals and the settlement is final, according to the official website. The initial distribution of payments to class members with valid claims will begin in May 2026. The settlement was part of a class action lawsuit accusing Blue Cross Blue Shields companies of limiting competition in the health insurance market. The net settlement fund is estimated to be about $1.9 billion, which will be distributed to eligible class members who submitted valid claims before the deadline of Nov. 5, 2021. However, those who did not file a claim by the deadline should not expect a payment.
