The lawsuit, filed by California-based McLaren Insurance Solutions and Maxim Health in a California district court, accuses several entities — including ABS Healthcare Services, Health Option One and My Agent Solution — of false advertising. All the agencies are headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Fla.

The agencies allegedly led customers to believe they could purchase comprehensive health insurance through health insurers like Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente but instead directed customers to a limited benefit plan, according to the complaint. 

Becker’s reached out to ABS Healthcare Services for comment. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
