Welcome to the Information Website for the Walker v. Highmark Health Options Settlement.

You are a Settlement Class Member if you were the subscriber or primary user of a cellular telephone number that received pre-recorded/artificial voice calls from or on behalf of Defendant Highmark Health Options Inc. You are a Settlement Class Member if your cellular telephone number (or a cellular telephone number currently or previously associated with you) has been identified as meeting the following definition:

  1. During the Class Period (November 30, 2016, through December 13, 2022), all persons within the United States who are subscribers or primary users of a cellular telephone number to which Defendant Highmark BCBSD Health Options Inc. placed (or had placed on its behalf by Defendant Cotiviti, Inc.) a telephone call using a pre-recorded or artificial voice,
    1. when such a call to that cellular telephone number had previously resulted in (a) a “WRONG_NUMBER” disposition or (b) a “MSG_DECLINED” disposition without a subsequent disposition of “CORRECT_PERSON” or “MSG_HUMAN” and
    2. when at least one subsequent call to that cellular telephone number had the disposition “WRONG_NUMBER”, “MSG_MACHINE”, “CORRECT_PERSON”, “MSG_HUMAN”, “HANGUP”, “NO_CONTINUE”, or “MSG_DECLINED”.

This means you are a Settlement Class Member if from November 30, 2016, through December 13, 2022 a call with a pre-recorded message was made by the Defendants to your cellular telephone number and this call was answered, and a previous call suggested a wrong number was reached.

You do not need to know if calls placed to you actually resulted in one of the dispositions listed above. If you have received a notice, your cellular telephone number (or a cellular telephone number currently or previously associated with you) has already been identified as qualifying.

Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read the Frequently Asked Questions carefully.
