Spring Health illegally operated and offered an unlicensed healthcare service plan to more than 370,000 California-based employees, according to a Nov. 8 news release. Spring worked with employers to arrange mental health services and helped employees find care by handling member disputes and by reimbursing providers.
Spring has acknowledged its failure to comply with state law and agreed to pay the $1 million fine, along with obtaining a license to legally operate in California.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
