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 Gives $23,000 to COCSA to Support State Associations
As part of its continuing commitment to the chiropractic profession, Foot Levelers, Inc., recently donated $23,000 to the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA). This donation will support the COCSA mission "to provide an open, non-partisan forum for the promotion and advancement of the chiropractic profession through service to member state associations."
"Without the kindness and generosity of sponsors, it would be nearly impossible for volunteer organizations, like the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations, to provide the vital services to our member states and to fill the COCSA mission," said COCSA President Dr. Jeff Fedorko. "It is with great appreciation we accept the financial gift from Foot Levelers."
"We are honored to support of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations," said Foot Levelers President and CEO Kent S. Greenawalt. "COCSA provides an opportunity for state associations to work together and learn from each other, and Foot Levelers is proud to contribute to this effort."
