BCBS Settlement Florida — Florida Blue Mid-Range Payouts
Florida Blue (BCBS of Florida) is the state's BCBS carrier. Florida claimants land in the mid-range of the $2.67B Subscriber settlement payouts.
Fully-insured individuals
$400–$1,000
Employees on insured plans
$120–$380
Insured groups (employers)
$5,000–$35,000
Florida's BCBS plan is branded as Florida Blue (formerly Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida) — but it's part of the same antitrust class action and follows the same Subscriber settlement framework.
Shares are pro-rata by premiums paid during the class period; the initial national distribution began May 11, 2026. The settlement publishes no state-specific amounts or schedules.
Florida retirees who had BCBS supplement coverage may qualify partially — see the main calculator's eligibility section for Medicare-related rules.
Florida Blue — GuideWell
Florida Blue is operated by GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation, a not-for-profit parent organization. Coverage through Florida Blue's commercial fully-insured plans (HMO, PPO, individual marketplace) during 2008–2020 qualifies.
Note: Florida Blue Medicare (Advantage and Supplement plans) operates separately — Medicare standalone is excluded, but Medicare Supplement may qualify partially.

Florida BCBS Settlement FAQ
Is Florida Blue the same as BCBS for settlement purposes?
Yes. Florida Blue (the rebrand of BCBS of Florida circa 2012) is the same legal entity, in the same antitrust class action, and follows the same Subscriber settlement framework.
I had a Florida Blue Medicare Advantage plan — does it qualify?
Medicare Advantage is generally excluded. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans through Florida Blue during the class period may qualify partially — file a claim with documentation to let the administrator decide.
I'm a snowbird with coverage in two states — what counts?
Whichever state issued your BCBS policy at the time of premium payment counts.
My Florida-based small business has been targeted by BCBS scam emails — what should I do?
Verify directly at bcbssettlement.com (official administrator). Do not respond to emails demanding fees or bank-account re-verification. Florida AG's office accepts consumer-protection complaints for these scams.
When will Florida payments be done?
No official state-specific amounts or schedules have been published. Shares are pro-rata by premiums paid during the class period, and the initial national distribution began May 11, 2026. For claim-specific status contact JND Legal Administration at (888) 681-1142.
Were you (or a close family member) injured in the last 2 years?
The BCBS settlement above pays fixed amounts through a claims administrator — a separate injury claim is a different case, and often worth far more. Free review, no obligation.
