Denial of Nutrition Counseling for Eating Disorders: A Class Action Lawsuit Against Oxford Health Insurance Inc.

In a class action lawsuit, more than 400 patients who were denied nutrition counseling services by Oxford Health Insurance Inc. have taken legal action against the insurer. These individuals, covered by Oxford health plans, sought these treatments to help manage their eating disorders but were ultimately denied coverage by the insurer.

During the relevant time period, it is estimated that up to 1,795 patients could have benefited from these treatments. The lawsuit aims to hold Oxford Health Insurance Inc. accountable for failing to provide necessary coverage for individuals struggling with eating disorders.

The proposed class action seeks to bring justice for those who were denied essential nutrition counseling services by their insurance provider. By certifying this case as a class action, the plaintiffs hope to hold Oxford Health Insurance Inc. responsible for the denial of coverage and to ensure that others in similar situations receive the necessary support and care.
