SCHER V. OXFORD HEALTH PLANS, INC. AND OXFORD HEALTH PLANS OF NEW YORK, INC.

Our lawyers served as Lead Counsel in this class arbitration, which challenged certain claims processing and payment practices employed by Oxford over a ten-year period.  During the arbitration, a panel of three arbitrators certified a state-wide class of tens of thousands of physicians, a ruling that our lawyers successfully preserved despite multiple challenges before the arbitration panel and in the New York court system.  Ultimately, the lawyers at Whatley Kallas were able to secure a $22,000,000 settlement for the physicians included in the class.
