BlueCross BlueShield is mailing out rebates this month

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – Thanks to a court order, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee will be mailing out rebate checks to some customers this month.

Around 100,000 customers will get some kind of settlement.

These are for people who bought healthcare coverage in 2018 through the Federally Facilitated Marketplace.

The Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services failed to pay the full Affordable Care Act funds to insurance companies like BCBST.

The checks are averaging $250, but the amount will vary.

The rebate payments will be mailed by May 30th.

Cigna issued their rebates in January.

Consumers who have questions about their rebate checks should contact BCBST directly at 1-888-747-8957 (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday).
