BlueCross BlueShield asked to reimburse $2M to state taxpayers | North Carolina
SUMMARY: North Carolina Treasurer Dale Folwell is demanding BlueCross BlueShield reimburse the state $2 million in legal fees incurred while defending a lawsuit filed by the company. BlueCross sued after the North Carolina State Health Plan chose Aetna to manage its employee health plan. A court ruled in favor of the state, but legal fees exceeded $2 million. Folwell has requested reimbursement within 30 days, warning that he will consult state lawyers for further action if BlueCross does not comply. Folwell, who is leaving office in January, said BlueCross has been unpredictable since losing the contract.
