Ehrlich Law Firm wins victory for medical-insurance policyholders
January 2007 - California law requires that health plans must disclose their use of binding arbitration. In Medeiros v. Superior Court (Health Net), __ Cal.App.4th __, the Court of Appeal issued a writ of mandate directing the trial court to reverse its order compelling arbitration of the plaintiffs' bad-faith claims against Health Net, because Health Net failed to properly disclose the arbitration provisions. The court rejected Health Net's claim that the disclosures were not required for enrollees of group health plans.
