Abstract
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of New York published an inaccurate provider directory for people searching for mental health providers, otherwise referred to as “ghost networks,” alleges a new class-action complaint filed last month in U.S. District Court. The lawsuit states that these directories are not only an inconvenience for people searching for mental health providers; but that it is far more “insidious and costly.”
