Conference 35.181::insurance

26.0. "Blue Cross - Blue Shield" by POBOX::MCDEVITT (Everybody out to the field!) Tue May 03 1988 19:23

    This note is for discussion of all topics which relate to our doing
    business with Blue Cross - Blue Shield plans or with the Blue Cross
    Association.
    
    There are 74 Blues plans across the US. We are currently working
    with several of them, and hope to have installations in many of them
    by the end of FY89. We are also developing a very strong relationship
    with the Association, and hope to leverage our relationship there
    in such a way as to maximize our exposure to the plans.    
                                                           
    Please use this note to ask questions about, give information about,
    request references for, and discuss selling to, the Blues plans
    of the US. We simply ask that you not duplicate material to be found
    elsewhere in this conference or discuss other items best included
    in other notes in this conference (yes, this means you should read
    and become familiar with the rest of the "Insurance" conference.)

    Looks like a good fit for the Blues....

    According to the GMIS people I know, they already have several of
    the blues as their clients for both PC and Mainframe versions of
    their coding system. I will research this with GMIS next week at
    a conference at which they usually exhibit.
