Psych-Appeal Files Class Action Against Health Care Service Corporation for Residential Treatment

Psych-Appeal and its collaborating counsel have filed a class-action complaint against Health Care Service Corporation in the United States District Court of Illinois, Northern District. The complaint alleges that Health Care Service Corporation improperly excludes residential treatment for insureds suffering from mental illness.

Although residential treatment is an evidence-based, medically necessary service providing 24-hour structure and support to patients requiring long-term rehabilitation from chronic and severe conditions, the class action complaint alleges that HCSC improperly excludes residential treatment in violation of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.
