Employees of group plans may file. However, dependents are not eligible. FAQ #5 and #34 address this :
5. Am I part of the settlement class?
If you were covered by certain Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance or administrative services plans between February 2008 and October 2020, you may be a Class Member.
You may be eligible to receive payment if you are an Individual, Insured Group1 (and their employees) or Self-Funded Account2 (and their employees) that purchased or were enrolled in a Blue Cross or Blue Shield health insurance or administrative services plan during one of the two Settlement Class Periods. Government accounts are excluded from the Class.
The Settlement Class Period for Individuals and Insured Groups is from February 7, 2008, through October 16, 2020. The Settlement Class Period for Self-Funded Accounts is from September 1, 2015 through October 16, 2020. Dependents, beneficiaries (including minors), and non-employees are NOT eligible to receive payment.
34. How will a payment to the employee differ from payments to employer?
The Proposed Plan of Distribution provides the methodology for the Claims Administrator to use in order to make separate payments to the employer and its employees. For a full discussion of how these formulas will be used in calculating claims, and for information concerning how a claimant can request a different contribution percentage, please refer to Question 8 of the Long Form Notice as well as to paragraphs 18 and 26 of the Proposed Plan of Distribution on this website.
Further, question 8. of the long form application confirms the following:
FI Groups and FI Employees – Total Premiums Paid for FI Groups and FI Employees will be based on (a) data provided by the Settling Defendants showing the total amount of premiums paid by any FI Group and (b) a process for allocating the Total Premiums Paid between each specific FI Group and any FI Employees of that FI Group who submit a claim.
