Coventry says court accepts $150.5M La. settlement
Class Action News
Coventry Health Care Inc. said Tuesday a court approved its $150.5 million settlement of a class action lawsuit that accused the health insurer of violating Louisiana laws.
The company will record a gain of $159.3 million, or 68 cents per share, in the second quarter because it set aside more money than it needed to cover the settlement. In July, a state appeals court affirmed a $262 million judgment against Coventry's First Health Group Corp. unit. In February the plaintiffs and Coventry agreed to settle the case for $150.5 million.
The lawsuit alleged that First Health Group violated notice provisions of Louisiana's Any Willing Provider Act related to the treatment of injured workers with worker's compensation claims.
