NORTHBROOK, Ill., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allstate
announced today that it entered into a settlement of a nationwide
class action lawsuit, Strasen v. Allstate, which has been pending
in the Circuit Court of Madison County, Illinois for almost 10
years. This settlement includes all Allstate and Encompass
entities. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on July
16, 2009. Plaintiffs alleged that Allstate utilized a computerized
medical bill review system provided by ADP which failed to
correctly calculate medical expenses from automobile and
homeowner's claims. Allstate continues to believe its medical bill
review practices were and are appropriate and fully comply with the
law, but agreed to resolve the case on terms Allstate considered
fair and appropriate to avoid the burden and expense of continued
litigation. Allstate believes its bill review procedures help
policyholders maximize their benefits by reimbursing providers the
appropriate amount for services. Allstate's policy is to try to
resolve billing disputes with providers while protecting its
policyholders' interests. Individuals with questions about this
