Insurance companies sued in class action cases
Bethalto chiropractor Thomas L. Kaltenbronn, D.C. filed two class action lawsuits claiming that Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., Liberty Mutural Fire Insurance Co. and Old Republic Union Insurance Co. deceptively reduced payments to him and other licensed healthcare providers.
The suits, filed Dec. 28 in Madison County Circuit Couurt, allege that the insurance companies lowered their payments by claiming preferred provider organization (PPO) agreements, but without actually performing any of the associated obligations to those agreements.
