Centene Corp. misled customers about the number of doctors covered under its health plans, offering individuals who bought Obamacare plans far skimpier coverage than they signed up for, according to a lawsuit filed on Thursday.
Customers in Centene’s Affordable Care Act insurance plans had difficulty finding care providers who’d accept their insurance, and found that even doctors listed by the insurer as taking the coverage often didn’t, according to the federal suit filed in Washington State on Thursday.
The suit filed on behalf of two customers seeks class-action status to represent all customers of Centene’s Obamacare plans, which are sold under the Ambetter brand.
