Here We Go Towards Nationalization...

From The Buffalo News -

[New York] State Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday threatened to sue Excellus BlueCross and BlueShield and Univera Healthcare for fraud, accusing them of fraudulently using nine-year-old rate information from an already faulty database to reimburse out-of-network doctors and hospitals.

If you have a dispute with an insurer for something like an out-of-network charge, be aware that insurance companies are not acting in your best interest. They use these opportunities to squeeze every dime they can out of people whom they figure are too small to fight back. Do your best to fight it yourself, but if you can't handle it, try a medical billing advocate.
