THIS WEBSITE IS REGULARLY UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT CASE INFORMATION ANTHEM, INC. (N/K/A WELLPOINT, INC.) AND ANTHEM INSURANCE COMPANIES, INC. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION CASE NO. 1:05-cv-1908-TWP-TAB
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REACHED IN ORMOND V. ANTHEM
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
To exhaust the remaining funds in the Settlement Fund resulting from uncashed checks in the previous distribution, supplemental checks were sent to eligible class members per the Court approved Amended Plan of Allocation. If you did not receive a check it is because your proportionate share of the remaining funds did not meet the minimum threshold for payment and no future payments are forthcoming. Please note that there will be no reissues of payments from previous distributions related to this settlement and no requests to change the listed payee on current checks will be considered. In addition, there will be no reissues granted for current checks that would extend the expiration dates on the checks. Finally, as of December 2017, the Settlement Fund will be exhausted and this website will be taken down at that time.
THE OBJECTORS’ APPEALS OF THE SETTLEMENT WERE VOLUNTARILY DISMISSED ALLOWING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND TO CLASS MEMBERS TO BEGIN
On November 20, 2012, the trial court approved the $90 million settlement, class representative awards, attorneys’ fees and expenses, overruling the three objections that had been filed.
Two of the settlement objectors filed appeals challenging the Court-approved settlement which prevented settlement checks from being distributed to class members until after the appeals were resolved.
Because the settlement objectors voluntarily dismissed their appeals, and the court has approved that dismissal and the distribution of the settlement funds. The Settlement Administrator mailed the settlement checks by August 2, 2013. The Residual Distribution checks from the un-cashed settlement funds from the first distribution were mailed on April 30, 2015 to the eligible Class Members who cashed their first Distribution check.
