The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ordered a Florida-based company to refund $100 million to consumers who received sham healthcare insurance plans bundled with services they did not order.
Benefytt Technologies, along with two subsidiaries, former Chief Executive Gavin Southwell, and former Vice President of Sales Amy Brady, lied to consumers “about their sham health insurance plans” and used “deceptive lead generation websites to lure them in,” the FTC alleged in a press release Monday. Benefytt also made it difficult to cancel plans and services, including those they did not order.
