Mount Nittany Health has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurers, saying those insurers colluded to restrict competition and drive down payments to health care providers. The State College based health system has joined others nationwide, who recently opted out of a nearly 3 billion dollar national class-action settlement based on a case in Alabama over similar claims. Blue Cross Blue Shield admitted no wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Mount Nittany believes they are being paid much less than they would have been, in a competitive market.
