Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware fined $325,000

Delaware Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart announced that she has fined Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware $325,000 in connection with deficiencies in its nuclear cardiac imaging testing pre-authorization process.

The deficiencies were first set out in a Market Conduct Examination Report issued April 15, 2011 following an examination ordered by Commissioner Stewart as a result of concerns that insurers were not approving or paying for nuclear cardiac stress testing requested by Delaware physicians. The tests are used by physicians to diagnose heart blockages.
