Blues plan chief defends Vermont New Hampshire costs
Oliver Fifield, head of Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Vermont and New Hampshire, told the Vermont Labor Forum that the two plans are doing more than any other carrier to hold down health care costs. He cited nonmedical costs as a main driver of increases and noted hospital wages account for about 70 percent of operating costs. The Blues are seeking higher rates amid appellate battles in both states. He claimed over 92 cents of every premium dollar returns as benefits, arguing premium hikes are needed unless benefits shrink and patients bear more costs.
