On Wednesday, May 31, there was an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution titled, “Blue Cross in Georgia to limit emergency room coverage.” This article discusses emergency room coverage for Blue Cross participants who are covered by individual policies and use the emergency room for non-emergency medical issues.
Please note: This article and its contents do not pertain to our USG group healthcare plans for our active employees and pre-65 retirees. And it also does not pertain to our post-65 retirees who are enrolled in BCBSGa plans on the Aon Retiree Health Exchange. The USO has confirmed this information with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia.
