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.
Centennial Celebration Oversight
In the October 9, 1995 issue of "DC," we printed a list of exhibitors at the Davenport Grand Finale Centennial Celebration, and offered a well-deserved "thank you" to them. Unfortunately, (and inadvertently!) we left out Aquatic Industries. We apologize for not including Aquatic Industries, and extend a special thanks to them for their participation in the Davenport Centennial and their support of chiropractic.
