Aug. 1 Is Deadline for MCAG Settlement Payout

HASC offers a class action settlement recovery service through its partner, Managed Care Advisory Group, or MCAG. MCAG has distributed over $300 million to thousands of customers through this service. Currently, 88 HASC members are enrolled — and many are expected to receive substantial settlement payments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The next settlement deadlines are fast approaching and include a $180 million settlement connected to Optical Disk Drive products. Additional deadlines arrive in September and October (see below).

  • Optical Disk Drive Products Settlement (ODD) – $180 Million – deadline: Aug. 1, 2017: Hospitals that purchased desktop or laptop computers between April 1, 2003 and Dec. 31, 2008 are eligible to receive funds from this settlement.
  • Lithium Ion Battery Settlement – $64 Million – deadline: Sept. 30, 2017: Hospitals and businesses that purchased Lithium Ion Battery Products including, but not limited to, laptops, notebook and tablet computers and mobile phones purchased for employees can receive cash from the settlement.
  • Blood Reagent Antitrust Litigation – $22 Million: Any hospital that purchased Blood Reagents directly from Ortho or Immucore from Nov. 2000 to Oct. 2015 are eligible to receive funds.
  • Menactra (Sanofi vaccine) Antitrust Settlement – $61.5 million – deadline: TBD: All persons or entities in the United States and its territories that purchase Menactra directly from defendant Sanofi Pasteur Inc. (“Sanofi”) or any of its divisions, subsidiaries, predecessors or affiliates, such as VaxServe, Inc., during the period from March 1, 2010 through and including Dec. 31, 2014 (“Class Period”) may be eligible to receive cash recoveries.

The MCAG enrollment process is fast, easy and has no upfront fees. You will enroll in the SRS directly with MCAG; however, HASC members will receive a discounted contingency fee of 20 percent, versus MCAG’s standard fee of 25 percent.
