Strasen v. Allstate, a nationwide class action lawsuit that has been pending the Circuit Court of Madison County, Illinois for almost 10 years, has been settled.
Plaintiffs alleged that Allstate utilized a computerized medical bill review system provided by ADP which failed to correctly calculate medical expenses from automobile and homeowner's claims. Allstate continues to believe its medical bill review practices were and are appropriate and fully comply with the law, but agreed to resolve the case on terms Allstate considered fair and appropriate to avoid the burden and expense of continued litigation.
Allstate believes its bill review procedures help policyholders maximize their benefits by reimbursing providers the appropriate amount for services. Allstate's policy is to try to resolve billing disputes with providers while protecting its policyholders' interests.
To participate in the settlement, individuals must complete and submit a valid claim form postmarked no later than Feb. 8, 2010. Claim forms can be obtained
