Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) has reached a $2.8 billion settlement to resolve antitrust claims from healthcare providers, including chiropractors. The lawsuit alleged that BCBS limited competition and lowered reimbursements by dividing the nation into exclusive regions. Chiropractors who treated at least one BCBS-insured patient between July 24, 2008, and October 4, 2024, are likely eligible for a payment from a dedicated $224 million fund. To receive compensation, eligible providers must submit a claim by July 29, 2025, with payments based on a points system related to past reimbursements, offering an advantage to smaller practices. Interested providers should visit the official settlement website for more information and to file a claim.
