Beatty v. Accident Fund General Insurance Co.

A class action lawsuit was filed in 2017 on behalf of Illinois Physicians and Healthcare Providers, contending that the named Defendants in the class action have not paid statutorily-required interest to Illinois Physicians and/or Healthcare Providers on invoices requesting reimbursement for medical services rendered to injured workers under policies issued or administered by the named Defendants, which were paid more than thirty (30) days after receipt of all necessary data elements, allegedly in violation of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305, et seq. and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, 815 ILCS 505/1, et seq. (the “Action”).

Different insurance companies and third-party claims administrators (“TPAs”) are named as Defendants in the Action. If the records of one or more of these Defendants (and/or their affiliates) show that you are or were an Illinois Physician or Healthcare Provider who may have submitted at least one medical invoice subject to this settlement (the “Settlement”), you may be eligible for a monetary payment of interest under this Settlement.
