In a landmark development, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) has reached a $2.8 billion settlement to resolve antitrust claims brought by health care providers, including chiropractors. The lawsuit accused BCBS of dividing the nation into exclusive regions and limiting competition, which resulted in lower reimbursements for providers. Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.
Foot Levelers Kicks off 50th Anniversary Celebration
As Foot Levelers, Inc., nears its 50th year of providing products, services and education to the chiropractic profession, the company announced it will continue the tradition of providing major fund-raising events for the profession with a fall series of anniversary seminars for chiropractors. All of the proceeds from the fall anniversary seminars will go to the chiropractic college of the doctor's choice. The co-sponsoring colleges for these seminars are New York Chiropractic College, Cleveland Chiropractic College, and Southern California University of Health Sciences.
According to Foot Levelers, will be "major celebrations where doctors will have fun and have the opportunity to renew their licenses." Chiropractors can earn up to 18 hours of license renewal credit over a three-day period.
Speakers scheduled to make presentations at this special event include DCs William Austin; Mark Charrette; Patrick Gentempo; Kirk Lee; Jeff Olsen; Steve Troyanovich; and Wayne Zemelka.
"We're extremely proud to have been part of this great profession for half a century," said Foot Levelers President Kent Greenawalt. "These special anniversary seminars are our way of thanking the doctors for letting us be a part of their practices. We don't just sell products at Foot Levelers. We consider ourselves a service organization, and are dedicated to helping advance the chiropractic profession in any way we can."
Foot Levelers was founded in 1952 by Dr. Monte Greenawalt.
