Tufts Medical Center to drop some Blue Cross members


(NECN) - Tufts Medical Center, in Boston, is threatening to stop accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO coverage* for many of its services starting February 1st.

That's unless the insurance company agrees to pay Tufts doctors more.

The hospital claims its doctors are paid 20 to 40 % less than doctors at comparable hospitals.

Blue Cross says it's offered to pay fees similar to what other hospitals get, but that Tufts wants a much higher increase.
