Filed March 6, 2002
The American Dental Association (ADA) is suing one of the nation's
largest health care companies, WellPoint Health Networks Inc.,
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Cross of California, charging
the health care conglomerate with breach of contract, unlawfully
interfering with the dentist-patient relationship and trade libel.
The class-action lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois on behalf of the ADA and its members,
seeks relief under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA) for breach of contract, and under supporting state laws
for tortious interference and trade libel. Three practicing dentists
joined the ADA in the suit.
