BCBS pay under scrutiny

The pay plan for executives at Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota is being revamped to include incentive targets including health cost containment and quality of care. The new executive incentive plan, still a work in progress, is a response to an examination by state insurance regulators that concluded a “pay at risk” reward system virtually assured success.

Letter to the editor: Public option needed to rein in BCBS premium increases

The issue of health care reform has prompted letters from individuals, medical provider groups, the state medical association, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota. In the case of the providers and Blue Cross Blue Shield, who stand to gain the most from maintaining the status quo, they all claim that any public option provision in health care reform will be unfavorable to North Dakota.

A public insurance option with payments to hospitals and doctors similar to Medicare will exacerbate a cost squeeze already straining North Dakota’s medical system, a top health insurance executive said Monday.

Letter to the editor: Labor movement is right to speak out on BCBS, industry

Over the last several months, North Dakotans have put together events targeting Blue Cross Blue Shield and the industry abuses the company and its industry counterparts represent. As a member of the labor movement, we speak with a unified voice on behalf of the millions of families who struggle to shoulder the out-of-control health costs. Critics say we were off target in saying we were only targeting BCBS because of its egregious abuses making them an easy mark. But what could be more relevant to spotlight than insurance companies’ efforts to block real reform?

Other views: BCBS appears to be cleaning up its act

No more punches in the gut? In the past couple of months, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has been poked in the eye, slapped up side the head, rapped on the knuckles and punched in the gut. Deservedly so, we might add. The state’s largest health insurer was found to be living a tad too high off the corporate hog at a time when the economy was tanking and the high cost of health care and health insurance was making headlines.

Letter to the editor: Blue Cross Blue Shield needs to clean up its act

I recently read in the newspaper that the new director of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota will soon be addressing some of the major issues there. I say good for him. One of the big issues I’d like to see tackled is the partisan good old boys club that exists within the agency. Two former Republican legislators have held top spots there for many years. Under their leadership, the agency went awry.
