Small business people are among those getting $100 million back due to FTC action challenging Benefytt Technologies’ sham health plans | Federal Trade Commission
Finding healthcare coverage can be a challenge for many Americans, including gig workers, the self-employed, and people at small businesses. So when consumers were looking for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, plans sold by an outfit called Benefytt Technologies seemed like a reasonable option – except that according to the FTC, what Benefytt sold hundreds of thousands of consumers wasn’t comprehensive health insurance, wasn’t ACA-qualified, and often left them unprotected in a medical crisis. But there’s finally some good news for Benefytt customers. Due to the settlement of an FTC law enforcement action, they’ll be receiving close to $100 million in refunds.
