Dentists have initiated new class action lawsuits against Delta Dental organizations in California, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Massachusetts, alleging anticompetitive conduct that suppresses reimbursement rates and limits competition in dental insurance. These state-level filings come after a federal antitrust case was stalled, as the U.S. District Court declined to certify a nationwide class. The lawsuits seek injunctive relief, monetary damages, and restitution for dental providers affected by Delta Dental's practices, which reportedly control over 50% market share.
