Item: Premera enrollees may lose coverage /SR

More Info: Unless an agreement is reached by the beginning of 2009, patients with Premera Blue Cross would be unable to use their insurance at four area hospitals and other facilities. Providence Health & Services, which runs Sacred Heart Medical Center and Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, announced the contract problems – primarily regarding reimbursement rates – last week in a memo to hospital employees.
