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.
GOOD! About time those people get taken down a notch.
