Thanks for the information Rick, is it your understanding that this only pertains to ANTHEM Blue Cross Blue Shield and not all Blue Cross Blue Shield of those states?
Per the release, it states Anthem so any BCBS that are under Anthem, this would apply. If you have a BCBS that is not under Anthem, this would not apply. If you have questions, check with the specific BCBS carrier you are concerned about.
