Blue Shield of California sued over doctor ratings

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Last week the California Medical Association filed a class action suit against Blue Shield of California, alleging that the insurer's physician rating program is inaccurate and has the potential to mislead patients.

Blue Shield?s Blue Ribbon Recognition Program posts blue ribbons next to names of physicians on its web site who have met certain standards of care. The CMA says the ratings are incomplete because they rely on a few years' worth of claims data from five insurance products sold by Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross and UnitedHealthCare.
