ERISA Class Action Against United

Joe currently serves as co-counsel in a nation-wide class action against UnitedHealth Group filed in the Spring of 2008. UnitedHealth Group is one of America's largest health insurers, and the complaint alleges, inter alia, unlawful refusal to pay for spinal decompression therapy and unlawful use and manipulation of the United-owned Ingenix database to reimburse insureds for out-of-network physical therapy services at depressed rates, all in violation of ERISA.
