Rescissions Request a Non-Issue for Blue KC
In late April, members of Congress sent letters to several health plans asking them to end their efforts to rescind health insurance coverage except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City did NOT receive such a letter, and for good reason. We have never had the practice of rescinding members’ policies, except in instances of fraud or material misrepresentation on the part of the applicant, and we intend to maintain this course into reform.
The 3rd annual Health Summit, The Face of Health Care Tomorrow, was well attended and those assembled represented a powerful force of positive energy regarding health care reform. The keynote speaker, Senator Bob Dole, presented a bipartisan view with his characteristic wit and expressed the hopeful promise of what can be achieved by working together.
