Geary Community Hospital patients may not be able to use Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas soon.
The hospital says it is negotiating with Blue Cross and Blue Shield to improve reimbursement. Hospital officials say they can't continue to offer quality care and better technology with BC/BS "underpaying for its clients' healthcare."
BC/BS will send subscribers letters saying the hospital will be opting out of the provider network effective December 31st.

I have a friend that has to forgo major surgery now because of this. The one getting the shaft here is the patient.

$860,000 for a year lease on a CT Scanner, 5 top level administrative positions for a small hospital, another $30,000-50,000 plus for a lawn sprinkler system and grass, overpriced pictures on the wall by the physician recruiter's sister, the CEO creating a well paying position for his daughter, an elaborate visual hospital makeover, inability of administration to grasp economic factors.....Ha! Somebody has to fund this. Looks like they took lessons from wall street and the fed.

This might also have to do with the fact that GCH is big into the gastric bypass surgery and BCBS won't pay for it.
