Compliance Dispute Officer Issues Ruling in Oncology/Rheumatology Dispute
October 20th, 2009
In a recent ruling, Compliance Dispute Officer Martin Quinn has determined that the pricing policy and associated actions taken by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina did not violate key provisions in the BCBS Settlement Agreement. In his opinion, Mr. Quinn stated that BCBSNC provided adequate notice of its policy, and provided fee schedules upon request.
The North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) and numerous physician practices signed affidavits disputing these and other contentions made by BCBSNC. NCMS will likely file a motion for reconsideration.
