First Health PPO
On January 4, 2010, an Illinois state court granted final approval of a settlement in a class action lawsuit against CCN Managed Care, Inc. (formerly known as Community Care Network, Inc.) and First Health Group Corporation. The settlement resolves a lawsuit concerning preferred provider organization ("PPO") networks and healthcare providers who treated workers' compensation claimants and Illinois automobile accident policy claimants. Neither the settlement nor judgment release payors accessing those networks.
The settlement class consists of all Illinois healthcare providers who were members of or otherwise participated in a First Health PPO network at any time since September 24, 1994, that included services or products to persons covered by a workers' compensation program and/or an automobile accident policy.
