Whether or not there is a

Gives Example

George B. McGovern, execu-
tive vice president of the local
Blue Shield group, Medical
Service of D. c., said in an
swer to questions today that
physicians here may vote to ac-
cept for an appendectomy:
l. Payment in full of about
$100 from Blue Shield for a
patient whose family income is
under $4,000 and who would
have medical coverage under
the new plan.
2. Payment in full of about
$125 for a patient whose family
income is under $4,000.
3. Payment in full of about
$155 when family income is un-
der $500.
When income is above these
limits, physicians could charge
more, with the patient paying
the balance.
These fee schedules would be
used for national accounts, Mr..
McGovern said, so that steel
workers, for instance, could ne
gotiate a single contract for all
employees in all areas.
The experience of Blue Shield
in working out this program,
Mr.. McGovern said, will also
be valuable in its plan to set
up a Nationwide medical in
surance program for persons
over IS. The American Medical
Association recently announced
approval of this program for
the aged.
Already in Use
The local Blue Shield unit
Medical Service of D. c., al
ready has a program like the
proposed national plan, Mr.. Nc
Govern added. The local plan,
however, has standardized fees
for patients whose family in
come is less than $4,000.
When physicians in each area
agree on the unit plan and or
what the unit will. cost in that
area, the National Association
of Blue Shield Plans will be
able to figure what it will
probably have to pay out foi
services to a national union
with. say 200 members in Wash
ington, 1000 in the Chicago
:. area and handfuls of other
members scattered over the
country.
When the probable total cost
has been figured. a standard
rate for all the members car
be figured. Persons in high
cost medical areas, like Wash
ington, would pay no more thar
fellow union members in low
cost areas - but would be
covered for the same services
even though they may cost Blue
Shield more in the high cost
area.
Mr.. McGovern said that ply.
! sicians participating in Blue
Shield in Washington may be
asked to approve the fee sched.
Jules at an April meeting. Bal
lots would also be mailed tt
!, participating physicians who dc
mot attend the meeting.
