Claims Now Open – Deadline: September 2, 2025
Overview:
UMR Inc. has agreed to a $20.25 million class action settlement following allegations it wrongfully denied insurance claims related to emergency room (ER) visits and urinary drug screenings (UDS). The settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor.
If you had a health insurance claim denied by UMR under an employer-sponsored plan for either of these services, you may be eligible for a cash payment.
Who Qualifies for a Payment?
You may be eligible if you:
- Were covered under an employer-sponsored health plan administered by UMR Inc.
- Had a claim denied for an emergency room visit because UMR decided it wasn’t a true emergency
OR - Had a urinary drug screening claim denied because UMR said it wasn’t medically necessary
You may qualify for one or both types of claims. Use the settlement website to check your eligibility.
How Much Can You Receive?
Urinary Drug Screening (UDS) Claims:
- Baseline Payment: $68.85 per eligible UDS claim (automatically mailed, no action needed)
