Highmark Contract Class Action

A proposed class action was filed by Cathy Mollinea against Highmark Incorporated and Highmark Health. The docket classifies the case as a contract dispute, but the available entries do not detail the specific allegations. The parties are currently briefing a renewed motion to dismiss the first amended class action complaint, and no settlement or judgment is indicated.

Highmark Incorporated Contract Class Action

This appears to be a proposed class action against Highmark Incorporated and Highmark Health, apparently involving contract-related claims. The available docket text does not describe the specific alleged conduct, but the case involves a health insurance company and was transferred to the Western District of Pennsylvania after the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The allegations are unproven.

Theranos & Walgreens Blood Testing Settlement

Theranos claimed to have revolutionary blood-testing technology that could perform hundreds of health tests with a single pinprick, but the technology did not work. The company partnered with Walgreens to market the product in stores, but thousands of test results were invalidated or called into question. Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and COO Ramesh Balwani were criminally convicted for the fraud.

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
