Blue Cross Blue Shield settlement information provided by Human Resources

Human Resources is informing employees that they may have received or may soon receive an email or postcard notice regarding a settlement of class action claims involving the University’s health insurance carrier, Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield. The settlement may provide recovery rights to members of the Purdue community. Based on the federal court’s orders regarding the settlement, Blue Cross Blue Shield is required to notify all potential claimants of the settlement and how they can file a claim.

“We are aware of the settlement and the fact many current and former employees are receiving notices informing them that they may be eligible to receive funds,” says Candace Shaffer, senior director of benefits in Human Resources. “The emails, postcards, etc., that employees are receiving are not spam, but rather legitimate information that each employee should review and act upon as deemed appropriate.”

Note: Purdue cannot answer questions or advise employees on what they should do in terms of the settlement. Employees are encouraged to visit the Blue Cross Blue Shield Settlement website to learn more about the settlement and determine whether they want to file a claim.
