 Johns v. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
This lawsuit was filed against Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) by a family seeking coverage for early
intervention autism therapy. The lawsuit became a class action and on
June 19, 2009, BCBSM settled with the plaintiffs. The settlement will
reimburse about 100 families covered by BCBSM who incurred costs for
autism treatment that were submitted to BCBSM for which coverage was
denied on the grounds that the treatment, applied behavioral analysis,
was experimental.
