# Joint Sutter Health and UEBT Statement Regarding Settlement

Sutter Health and UEBT jointly announce a court-submitted settlement, avoiding a prolonged trial with no admission of wrongdoing by either party.

December 20, 2019 by Sutter Health

Today, a settlement agreement reached between the UFCW & Employers Benefit Trust (UEBT) on behalf of a class of California Self-Funded Payers, California’s Attorney General and Sutter Health was submitted for preliminary approval to the San Francisco Superior Court.

“The parties are pleased to have reached an agreement to resolve this lawsuit and believe a long and costly trial that could be tied up in the courts for years is not in anyone’s best interest. There is no admission of wrongdoing on the part of Sutter Health.”
