When Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Northern Ohio announced a selective contracting program based on competitive bidding, the greater Cleveland hospitals were shocked. This process required competitive bidding for all lines of Blue Cross business including inpatient and outpatient hospital services. A lawsuit against Blue Cross was filed by Lakewood Hospital. The program was declared illegal, but an appeal is pending that could set precedent for other Blue Cross plans that may try other forms of competitive bidding in the future.
当俄亥俄州北部的蓝十字蓝盾保险公司宣布一项基于竞争性投标的选择性签约计划时，大克利夫兰地区的医院感到震惊。这一过程要求对蓝十字所有业务线进行竞争性投标，包括住院和门诊医院服务。莱克伍德医院对蓝十字提起了诉讼。该计划被宣布为非法，但上诉悬而未决，这可能会为未来可能尝试其他形式竞争性投标的其他蓝十字计划树立先例。
