Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan Arizona Merger Set
Blue Cross and Blue Shield will merge health insurance operations in Arizona effective June 1. John C. Foster, president of both firms, said the merger has been in the wind for two years and was accelerated by a $233,000 deficit at Blue Shield as of December 31, 1976. The consolidation aims to cut expenses and will not reduce premiums, though rates could rise up to 20 percent due to inflation and service use.
