DISTRICT COURT, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
If you were a physician employed by Banner Medical Group Colorado between January 1, 2016 and January 2, 2019, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.
- A class action lawsuit has been filed against Banner Health (“Banner”) and Banner Medical Group Colorado (“BMGC”) (together “Defendants”) alleging inaccurate payment of physician work Relative Value Unit (“wRVU”) Productivity Bonus compensation.
- The Court has certified a class that consists of physicians employed by BMGC at any point between January 1, 2016 and January 2, 2019, who executed a Physician Employment Agreement (“PEA”) reflecting the ability to earn wRVU bonus compensation but did not receive payment in full for the wRVU bonus compensation to which they were entitled from the Defendants (the “Class”).
- The Court authorized mailing of the Notice to physicians employed by BMGC at any point between January 1, 2016 and January 2, 2019, who executed a PEA reflecting the ability to earn wRVU bonus compensation, regardless of whether they received less than their full bonus compensation. You have been identified as one such physician. The Court has authorized mailing of the Notice.
- Although the Court authorized mailing of the Notice, this does not guarantee that you will receive recovery.
