7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Susan Priddy, et al. v. Health Care Service Corporation
Case No.: 16-4127
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, SYKES, Circuit Judge, and COLEMAN, District Judge
Focus: Class Action Suit – Class Certification
Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) is one of the nation’s largest health insurance providers. This appeal presents the question whether the district court erred by certifying a class action against HCSC. The named representatives assert that HCSC is violating federal and Illinois law by the way in which it is using third-party affiliates to provide various services. We conclude that the record fails to support class certification, and so we vacate the certification and remand for further proceedings.
