Refunds are being sent by the Federal Trade Commission to customers it claims purchased fraudulent health plans that Benefytt Technologies misrepresented as Obamacare plans or Affordable Care Act. Benefytt, which operated under several identities, including Health Insurance Innovations, used deceptive websites and aggressive marketing to trick people looking for health insurance into purchasing fake policies that came with expensive monthly premiums, according to the FTC’s August 2022 complaint.
“Benefytt pocketed millions selling sham insurance to seniors and other consumers looking for health coverage,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement at the time the original complaint was filed.
Qualified for the refund:
- Consumers who made a $1,000 or more payment to Benefytt between 2017 and 2022 will receive a partial refund.
- Affected customers are not obligated to make a claim, as is the case with most FTC investigations.
- Automatic checks will be mailed, which should arrive in the next two weeks.
- Refund checks expire after 90 days, so as soon as you receive them, you should cash or deposit them.
