The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund ("DREDF") and Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld LLP ("RBGG") filed a class action lawsuit in federal court against Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and the California Department of Managed Health Care ("DMHC") challenging disability discrimination in insurance coverage of wheelchairs.
