Judge to Weigh $6.5M Legal Fee in Blue Cross Class Action SettlementFrom: Dean Huffman . (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Fri Nov 3 18:42:25 2006
.. Judge to Weigh $6.5M Legal Fee in Blue Cross Class Action Settlement New Jersey Law Journal A judge opened debate Tuesday on whether a proposed class action settlement with 50,000 New Jersey doctors is a sweetheart deal for Horizon Blue Cross and whether the doctors' lawyer merits a $6.5 million fee. Judge Stephen Bernstein ruled that the Oct. 16 settlement, which requires reforms by Horizon but no money award, is "sufficiently within the range of reasonableness" to warrant consideration for final approval. Even so, health care lawyers outside the case are questioning the pact. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1162461917011

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
