Blue Cross Faces Constitutional Fight Over Hospital Rates
In Kansas a major clash pits Blue Cross of Kansas against 24 hospitals and state officials over a rate review program. Hospitals sue in El Dorado arguing 75 percent bed sign-up is required to change contracts, while Blue Cross touts cost containment and 13.5 million in subscriber savings. Judge Benson paused old contracts. May 30 hearing could extend the stay. Lawmakers weigh a state monitoring commission as the dispute may reach the Supreme Court.
