I generally do not like reproducing other peoples' hard work as a blog post, but I think Anthem Blue Cross's vindictive business could use all the bad publicity it can get, especially since they plan to appeal a decision against them, rather than apologize to the victims, including the Doctor they rejected from their network and the several patients on whose behalf he fought with Anthem Blue Cross.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Nordella, a doctor who doubled as a patient advocate stood up against Anthem Blue Cross when they rejected patient claims. He put up a brave fight, and in return Anthem Blue Cross barred him from participating in their network. The Supreme Court of California had clearly stated in a 2000 case that when insurance companies kick doctors out of their network, they must give them due process. <\/p>\n<p>Such minor details or a clear verdict from a jury are of no consequence to Anthem Blue Cross apparently. Read for yourself. <\/p>\n<p>I am going to post the links here, and I hope that you will go through them, read and understand what happened here, and, if you happen to be in a similar situation, you will be ready for a long fight!<\/p>\n<p><b>Links: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/ducknetweb.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/doctor-wins-38-million-dollar-law-suit.html\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/ducknetweb.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/doctor-wins-38-million-dollar-law-suit.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/la-fi-anthem-doctor-verdict-20130410,0,2796259.story\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/la-fi-anthem-doctor-verdict-20130410,0,2796259.story\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/la-fi-anthem-doctor-verdict-20130410,0,2796259.story<\/a><\/a>Source:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/chaaraka.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/brief-anthem-blue-cross-is-unbrazen-as.html\">http:\/\/chaaraka.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/brief-anthem-blue-cross-is-unbrazen-as.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: I don't have much time nowadays so I am switching to quick updates on key issues rather than wait till I have time to post in the long form I am used to.
