MIAMI, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent federal
court filing, a court-appointed Receiver said he "plans to further
investigate the role of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. ("HII")
in what he termed "a classic bait-and-switch scam" perpetrated by
Simple Health Plans, LLC ("Simple Health").
According to the Receiver, Simple Health was "a classic
bait-and-switch scam" in which unwitting consumers were led to
believe they were purchasing an Obamacare-compliant PPO policy, but
were really being sold limited benefit plans that did not comply
with the Affordable Care Act.
Simple Health was one of the largest brokers for HII, a publicly
traded distributor of health insurance and supplemental
plans. In addition to selling plans through Simple Health,
HII acted as Simple Health's third-party administrator and provided
customer service for Simple Health.
The Federal Trade Commission recently warned that thousands of
unaware victims may continue to be charged by HII for plans
purchased through Simple Health.

Schneider + Grossman LLP ("LKLSG") in Miami is investigating potential legal action

Dorfman, who is accused of spending millions of dollars
toward an extravagant lifestyle. The FTC obtained an
injunction against Simple Health, which it alleges engaged in a
$150 million scheme.
