IS ANYTHING BEING DONE? YES!
The problem of uninsured Americans – North Carolinians specifically –
has been decades in the making. But some initiatives are making significant differences now. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina has taken steps to make health care more accessible and affordable for everyone by:
• Working with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association to cut fraud, waste and abuse – saving subscribers more than $240 million nationally in 2004 alone.* BCBSNC efforts reduced fraud, waste and abuse by nearly $10 million within the state in 2006.**
• Making the cost of prescription drugs more affordable by providing incentives to customers to use generic drugs, and piloting programs such as electronic prescribing.
• Showing real results in helping members make good choices about activity and nutrition, and manage their chronic conditions through our Member Health PartnershipsSM. This program helps them save money and avoid illness down the road.
• Helping businesses and individuals enter the health insurance market by realizing the premium savings and tax advantages of Health Savings Accounts.
