HASC is pleased to offer a class action settlement recovery service through its strategic partnership with Managed Care Advisory Group LLC, or MCAG. The firm’s settlement experts continually search for class actions for which you may be eligible. You don’t have to spend time looking for cases or examining legal documents. Once you enroll with MCAG’s service, the firm will notify you of opportunities, determine your eligibility and submit claims on your behalf.

Note: If you are one of the 150-plus member hospitals already enrolled, you do not need to sign the attached Agreement or enroll through the website. MCAG will continue to file claims on behalf of your organization.

Current settlement opportunities include:

• Optical Disk Drive Products Settlement (ODD) – $205 million – deadline – June 28, 2019: 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 – Jan. 18, 2019: 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.

• Payment Card Interchange Fee Settlement (Visa/MC Settlement) – $5.5 billion: Arose from a lawsuit claiming that merchants paid excessive interchange or swipe fees for accepting Visa or MasterCard payments because of an alleged conspiracy involving Visa, MasterCard and bank defendants. A portion of Visa or MasterCard payments accepted from customers dating back to 2004 are expected to be eligible for reimbursement.

MCAG has a convenient way to help HASC members with the claims process.
