NC Chiropractors Sue Blue Cross and Blue Shield and HNS

Health Network Solutions has become a “gatekeeper” in North Carolina to the patients covered by the insurers, especially since, as the recent lawsuit filed against them states, HNS  is a cartel that bullies chiropractors and patients with their Utilization Review Process.

According to this lawsuit, 
“The Utilization Review Process had the effect of restraining covered services to patients, damaging (chiropractors and patients) by denying the agreed compensation for covered services, by restricting service (chiropractors) may provide, and by denying access to covered patients unless (chiropractors) comply with the average cost per patient levels arbitrarily established by HNS in consultation with the Insurers.”
