Cal. Consumer Health Care Council v. Aetna Health
Health and Safety Code section 1363.1 mandates the provider of health care service plans to disclose on its enrollment form any requirement to submit disputes to binding arbitration. In this case, plaintiff California Consumer Health Care Council brought suit against several providers of health care service plans for violation of the Unfair Competition Law (UCL). Plaintiff alleged that although defendants enrollment forms did not disclose that defendants required plan members to submit disputes to binding arbitration, defendants were nonetheless misrepresenting to claimants that they must arbitrate their disputes.
The judgment (order of dismissal) is affirmed.
