While WellPoint (parent company to Anthem Blue Cross) saw profits grow eightfold in the fourth quarter of 2009, it is proposing to increase individual policy premiums by as much as 39 percent.

This increase is proposed as Anthem Blue Cross’ new payment model is being introduced. The new model changes the current payment system to one where providers will be paid $75 per visit regardless of the treatment(s) provided or the intensity of those treatment(s). 

Take action against this payment system!

Here are suggested talking points and a sample letter when you contact your congressperson.
