Article on Page 40, February 14, 1990 Issue

Philip D. Rake, DC, FACO

I would like to say thank you for printing my letter to the editor regarding "Videofluoroscopy Policy Adopted." However, after reading the article, I noted that the last sentence had a mispelled word in it. As was printed in the closing sentence, it stated, "Utilize your strengths WITHOUT chiropractic -- use a board certified Diplomate." It should have read, "Utilize your strengths WITHIN chiropractic -- use a board certified Diplomate."

Again, I appreciate your printing of letters to the editor. Keep up the good work.

Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.
