Blue Cross Asking Doctors For Information On New Patients

The L.A. Times has obtained a letter sent from Blue Cross to a physician that asked the Doctor to provide medical information about new patients seeking to be insured by Blue Cross. The letters are intended to find out if the patient has any undisclosed, pre-existing conditions which would be cause for cancellation of the policy. Larry talks with David Aizuss, M.D., Physician with the California Medical Association, and President of the L.A. County Medical Association about the issue.
