C.A. Revives UCL Action Against Kaiser Over Autism Services

By KENNETH OFGANG, Staff Writer

Class action allegations charging Kaiser Foundation Health Plan with violating the Unfair Competition Law by denying speech and behavioral therapies to children with autism spectrum disorders were revived yesterday by this district’s Court of Appeal.
Div. Seven said the complaint raised issues that are properly resolved in a class action, and that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Emilie Elias erred in dismissing the case on the ground that the court would be required to resolve individual issues with respect to the medical necessity of the therapies.
