Abstract
Saying the mental health benefits manager for a New York government employee health plan deceptively issued an inaccurate provider directory in order to boost profits, attorneys for three plaintiffs have sued the company in federal court. The lawsuit against Carelon Behavioral Health is the second federal legal challenge to the practice of publishing mental health “ghost networks” in the past six months.
