Hartford Insurance Lawsuit Has Gained The Status Of Class Action
The Madison County Court has certified the lawsuit against the Hartford Insurance Company to be a class action. Circuit Judge of the Madison County Court Daniel Stack has declared it on July 7. It can be added that the Lakin Law Firm, Winnie Madison filed a lawsuit against the Hartford in 2000. The lawsuit charges that the Hartford systematically reduced its payments by pre-pricing bills submitted by medical providers in violation of the insurance policies. Stack appointed the Lakin Law Firm of Wood River, Freed and Weiss of Chicago and Timothy Campbell of Godfrey as class counsel.
Stack certified the following class:
“All insured persons, or licensed medical providers by assignment, who from August 8, 1990 to the date of this order: (a)submitted a first-party claim for payment of a medical bill to an Affiliated Hartford Company; (b) had their claim submitted to computer review by Hartford Fire; (c) received or were tendered an amount less that the submitted medical expenses by Hartford Fire; and (d) received or were tendered an amount less than the stated policy limits.”
Stack excluded anyone from Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Utah. He also excluded anyone whose claims were referred to Hartford’s special investigative unit and found to be fraudulent and anyone who had a claim denied because of a duplicate bill.
