Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association is the coordinating organization for the 70 independent Blue Cross Blue Shield plans across the United States. In an interview with Richard L. Clarke, FHFMA, president, Healthcare Financial Management Association, Bernard R. Tresnowski, Blue Cross Blue Shield's president and chief executive officer, addresses the issue of healthcare reform, some of which he believes may be implemented as early as next summer. In addition, Tresnowski discusses the need for insurance reform, offers reasons why some Blue Cross plans have failed, reinforces his belief in the benefits of administrative simplification, and emphasizes the strengths of linking financing and delivery.
