"Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota is thankful for the efforts of the North Dakota Insurance Department and the collaborative nature in which it conducted this comprehensive market conduct examination," Tim Huckle, BCBSND president and CEO, said in a statement.
In addition to paying the regulatory fine, BCBSND expects to invest more than $300,000 to address issues identified through resources and tools, supplementing recent investments made in new enterprise technology.
The MediQHome program, which launches in January 2009 and is voluntary for physicians, promotes a patient-centered medical home approach to the delivery of care to all North Dakota citizens, not just
BCBSND members.
