Challenge YOUR insurance company to co-create more ethical health partnership with both patients and physicians!
(Here are some of the suggestions we recommend.) Also see Reimbursement Section on This Site for more info


Note:
If your insurance company uses a network management company, write them also when you address physician reimbursement and doctor/patient relationship issues. Your insurance company will try to tell you that it is up to the network management company to set physician fees and that is partly true. But it is important to also hold the insurance company accountable since they support those fees and policies.

The links below will take you to the main page of the insurance company. We will be adding corporate mail addresses, lists of executives and/or board members, company mission and values statements and more where possible. Some companies create layers that protect executives from public contact. When you visit the site, look for a section along the lines of "About Our Company". Sometimes they will have there information on executives, mission and contact information. You can also look under "Contact Us" to see if corporate office address or e-mails are listed. If it all possible try to get your letters and/or e-mail to all the top executives. It is easier for one person to brush it off, so you want to inform the top level of management.

When you write your letters calling the company to ethical health partnership that involves fairer and more just treatment of physicians and patients, tie your invitation and challenge to their own stated values. Call them to integrity with those values and give them suggestions.
