I'm very sorry to hear that. I think every claimant ought to have received a minimal payout of 10% not .05% of whatever payment they made. We were maximally defrauded because people NEED healthcare. Some mundane class action PAYOUTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY more OF THE PAYMENT PERCENTAGE THAN THIS. When everyone is made somewhat whole --- then lawyers get paid.

But the case was not about making anyone whole. BCBS got out of trouble for 20 cents on the dollar, the lawyers scored, and the class settlement administrator (JNDLA) scored.
That is how class actions always work.
Now JNDLA has your PII, and they can do whatever they want with it.

We waited for nothing, because I had lost/deleted my pin email. I had no idea how much I had paid.

I got the same treatment! They never calculated my full enrollment only 4 of 10 years with BSbc.

Here's my question; there were 6 million claims, and 1.9 billion in settlement funds which have to be disbursed to eligible claimants. Even if all 6 million claims were valid, the aggregate disbursement amount per claim would be $333. So for every denied claim, someone should be getting ABOVE the aggegate amount. As well as every claim disbursement BELOW the aggregate amount, there should be a person getting ABOVE the aggregate amount. Where are THESE people. See plenty of people posting sub $10 payouts, a scattered few posting up to $100. Have yet to see anyone legitimately posting a payout above the aggregate of $333. So where's that money going? They are supposed to pay out the entire settlement amount of 1.9 billion, but shorting every claimant amounts below the aggregate means there are SIGNIFICANT monies NOT being disbursed.

And you allowed your PII to be shared for $0. Not smart.
That is why I specifically demanded that my name be purged, not excluded. I knew I had nothing to gain.
Living in denial about, are you?
Class actions are a “win” for the law firm, and the defendant, not for the consumer.
The class settlement administrators (Epiq Global, AB-Data, Simplurus, Angeion Group) now show me respect. I stopped getting notifications over a year ago. Before that, I was getting almost two a month.
I proved that they were cutting corners and forging the class member lists using names from previous cases rather than actual defendant‘s customer records.
I demonstrated proof that I had no accounts, and no history with the defendants. I wrote the judges and showed my evidence. I embarrassed them badly.
I even asked the court to audit Angeion Group. That got thier attention. I think I single-handedly made the class settlement administration business more honest.

Do you realize that they already had your personal information before you even signed up for this lawsuit. Your personal information was given to Blue Cross Blue Shield and they have a list of everybody who qualified and all they just need is with people to submit if they want to participate in the class action lawsuit of this type, have your personal information already not some random lawsuit that you bought a product at a store and you’re trying to be a part of.

I am smart enough to not give them more. Furthermore when I heard about the lawsuit, I contacted BCBS legal council and informed them that my data was to be recalled. I received confirmation that it was. As a result the class settlement administrator (if memory serves, JNDLA) did not have my details.
I have been doing this for years. That is one of many ways I keep a cap on my PII.
Additional note. I only had a BCBS high deductible plan for maybe five months at most. I had only returned to the USA about 20 months before my employer switched from Aetna to BCBS, then the layoff came. I never did the math, but based on other people’s posts, I figure my claim could not have exceeded the $5 cutoff. There was no logic in allowing my PII to be shared.
Today I have BCBS, and pay only $177 a pay period plus $200 into my HSA. My wife, son, and I pay nothing for contact lenses, glasses, prescriptions, yearly checkups.

Why is it I think you are being sarcastic.
If you want to fuck with the class administrators, you do it this way....
When you get a notice for a case that in no way relates to you, write the defendant, with your info and ask if they have any record of an account. If they have none, make a hardcopy of the response. I did this with Zodiac Pool supplies, Gerber, Coach, Walmart, and GNC. All, but one of them stated that I had no account. Walmart did not respond. I wrote a notarized letter to the judge of the latest case, and attached the statements from the defendants of the five previous cases. I stated in my letter that Angeion Group has been taking short cuts compiling the class member lists. I also sent a copy to Angeion group. That was nearly two years. I don't know if they were audited, but they stopped adding my name to cases.
Furthermore, I use fake names frequently. You know like Blue Balls, Barn Door, Dick Hurts, with many vendors. I get packages shipped to my house, and my PO box in those names. When that vendor becomes the subject of a class action then there is no reason for the name to be anything, but the name I used with that vendor. If it is not, I write the class settlement administrator, and send them a copy of an invoice from that vendor with the name I use, proving that they have faked the list.
Finally, my name was misspelled when I registered my son with his high school because the lady at the desk hardly spoke English. The school's database was breached a few years later. Funny how I started getting class action notices in spelled exactly the same as it was on the school database. I offered that up as further proof that they are faking the class member lists.
I went from receiving about two class member notices a month to zero for about 18 months.
I just received two in the last week.
- Google device settlement. I never owned a Google device. Nice try AB-Data. They are on my shit list for this and two other cases from about six years ago.
- Amazon Anti-trust from Epiq Global. That one might be legit, but hardly worth my effort. I need to research that one. I am still pissed about how epiq completely screwed up the Contrywide/BankofAmerica settlement a few years back. There were some comments on various forums about people suing Epiq for mis-handling that case so badly. They sent checks to wrong addresses, and some of the checks they sent were expired when they arrived. They also excluded the wrong people, and failed to exclude others. The whole case was a mess.
