Hell, I have been having BCBS for twenty years. And I haven’t heard anything about this…

They emailed me about it on their own. I paid the entire cost out of pocket for my BCBS plan for a couple of years due to being 1099 and not covered by an employer. Maybe that's why? I don't recall the specifics of the settlement.

I opted for a check so I'll be waiting a while still. I've been reading Reddit and a lot of them are getting less than $30.

I've been waiting years on this thinking it would be decent because it's still almost $2billion after the lawyers have already been paid, but after reading Reddit, I'm going to be let down.

$1564 is the most I've seen anyone get. The previous high was $900ish and they'd paid $80k in premiums.

This gives me hope. For the time of the claim, we were self employed so we paid thousands of dollars per year. I went and dug up our old tax returns to submit the figures. I’m going to be a little upset if I only get $300. I’ll still cash the check, though

Damn- I think I paid $50-60K through the 5 year period. I’m pretty sure it was always over $1K/month for the 4 of us

$123 for me. It said this was the initial payment. Should I expect more checks?

Do you remember How much did you pay in premiums over that time?

I actually got my 4 checks today..I thought it would have taken longer for physical checks.

After Obamacare passing, our premiums doubled so I went with individual insurance policies for my wife and 2 kids since my employer covered mine. It was less expensive that way. We were only doing that for about 2 years and paid about $2500 in premiums for each account. They each got back $12.50ish.

Before that we had a family policy for the previous 6 years of the class action period and paid around $24k in premiums for a check in the amount of $125.

All that said... what a rip
