AG Bonta announced that the Los Angeles Superior Court approved a settlement with Shelley Steele, Timothy Candace Moses, Chase Moses, and First Call Telemedicine, LLC, the remaining defendants in a matter involving the alleged sale of sham health coverage to California consumers.

“Californians deserve honest information when making decisions about their health coverage. More than 14,000 Californians were allegedly misled into paying for health plans that did not provide the protection they expected, while those behind the scheme profited from their trust. After holding other defendants accountable last year, this settlement finishes the job by securing penalties against the remaining defendants and barring them from doing business in California.” -AG Bonta
