File Your Claim →What Happened?
Anthem Blue Cross, one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States, was sued for improperly denying coverage for brand-name single-source prescription drugs to members of its grandfathered health plans in California — including Core 5000, Tonik, and RightPlan plans. A single-source drug is a medication that has no generic equivalent, meaning patients have no alternative to the brand-name version.
Anthem allegedly required these patients to pay out-of-pocket for medications that had no generic substitute, in violation of the terms of their health insurance plans. California patients who were denied coverage for essential medications were forced to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket or go without needed treatment.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
This is one of the most valuable settlements currently open. Eligible claimants can receive full reimbursement for out-of-pocket prescription drug costs plus an automatic $8,850 deductible refund. Your Claimant ID from your notice and proof of the denied prescription are required. Deadline is November 10, 2026 — the longest deadline of any current SuitAlert settlement.
