"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Cigna Settles: Cigna settled the class-action suit it was facing from doctors over late payments:
As part of the agreement, Connecticut-based CIGNA HealthCare will post on its Web site additional explanations of its claim coding and other payment policies; appoint a third-party administrator to review certain claims that were denied since Jan. 1, 1996; and establish a $10 million "prompt pay fund" for doctors whose payments were tardy.
They also say they will be revising their procedures. I hope that means they’ll be changing the way the process claims so that payment is fair and timely. posted by Sydney on
