[NPInfo] Blue Cross/Blue Shield and NPs

[Meg]

I'm on the BC/BS Regence insurance panel as a provider here in Oregon..one would think this goes for all NPs across the country? guess not....it seems they are arbitarily closing off NPs in certain regions? is this what I'm hearing from those on the listserv...unless BC/BS are independent from one another (and even if they are)...one could certainly make a case with the Insurance Board in their respective States that NPs are paid and are credentialled for BC/BS in Oregon and in many other States....this would be one way to get the Insurance Commission in those States that stop NPs from being paid by BC/BS members...and get NPs included? this is just not right....just my thoughts.
