Anthem to Settle Insurance Violations - RealRadio804

As part of a settlement, Anthem will be following a 20 point plan to correct issues alleged by the State Corporation Commission.

Virginia's biggest health insurer will pay $362,000 to settle hundreds of alleged violations of state insurance law, including assertions that in certain instances, it improperly denied claims and did not pay the right amount.

Some were the same kind of issues the State Corporation Commission Bureau of Insurance found after an examination six years ago and that Anthem said it would fix, the bureau's latest examinations of two of the firm's main operations found. Anthem paid $294,000 in 2020 to settle those earlier allegations.

In addition to the payment to settle the bureau's allegations, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's HealthKeepers managed care plans agreed to a 30-point plan to correct issues an SCC Bureau of Insurance market conduct examination found. Anthem's other Virginia health plans agreed to a 20-point corrective action plan.

Like many things, there's another side to the opioid crisis. While the addiction to opioids is a problem that needs to be addressed, people who are using the drugs exclusively as prescribed — and who still truly need it from a medical perspective — have been swept up in what some have seen as government's knee-jerk reaction to the crisis. In having their ability limited to get the drugs they need in order to function, many of these patients are left suffering debilitating pain. Richard Mark VanWormer w

A Nova Scotia man is thanking a digital watch for saving his life. Travis Chalmers, of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was outside playing road hockey with his son when he suddenly experienced a "warm sensation" in his chest area and a splitting headache. "I just thought it was a flu or cold coming on and my seasonal allergies had been kicking in. I thought it was flu-like symptoms and shrugged it off," he said. But to Chalmers' surprise, an otherwise laidback afternoon eventually took a scary turn when he glanced at his wrist. A notification from his Apple Watch led him to discover he was experiencing a heart attack. "About a half hour later, I'm laying down with my daughter and my heart rate is still beating out of my chest," he continued, adding that he monitored his heart rate on his Apple Watch for the next few hours. The watch indicated that he was experiencing atrial fibrillation, a rapid heart rhythm that can increase the ris
