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.
Second Howe-Yochum Diagnostic Imaging Fellowship Completed
Dr. Jane Wylie, a third-year radiology resident from the Anglo-European Chiropractic College (AECC), completed the second Howe-Yochum Diagnostic Fellowship September 14-30, 1992 in Denver, Colorado.
Dr. Wylie spent numerous hours with Dr. Terry R. Yochum reviewing case material, and also viewed, with a number of the medical radiologists in Denver area hospitals, specialized imaging procedures including nuclear medicine scans, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
The Howe-Yochum Fellowship is sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company. Kodak gives financial support to the resident and sends John Cullinan, R.T. to provide lectures and personal tutoring in the technical areas of x-ray quality control and radiation physics.
The fellowship is offered only once a year to third-year radiology residents, and provides an opportunity for the enhancement and training of the future chiropractic radiologists.
