MAIN rut 50' Heppner 1972.The busiest year in our history. Our cards went through a lot last year. More people had them tucked into billfolds and purses than ever before (our membership rose 11 putting us over a half million). More people used them than ever before (we handled over 678,000 claims, a 20 increase over 1971). And in handling those claims, we paid out more money than ever before ($50.4 million, a 16 gain over 1971). But significantly, even though our work load was up last year, our cost of handling that load was down. Our ratio of operating expenses to income dropped last year from 7.53 to 7.15. That simply means last year our members received the greatest return on their member ship dollar ever. For every dollar we received, 91.32 cents of it came back to our members as a paid medical bill with 1.53 cents going into a reserve for future benefits. The highest return of any similar plan in the Northwest. But Blue C oss of Oregon is doing more than just paying bills promptly and efficiently. We're working hard to do something about improving the quality and accessibility of health care and stabilizing costs. We've in creased our supjxjrt, in both manpower and dollars, to Comprehensive Health Planning associations. We're working with several groups to investigate alternative health care delivery systems. We're working with hospitals through out the state in Utilization Review Programs to assure quality care while helping them to contain costs. We're doing all this (and a lot of other things you never hear alxmt) because we want the people of Oregon and Southwest Washing ton to have more than just efficiently paid health bills. We want them to have better health care. That's always been our business. Taking care of people. We care for people. Blue Cross of Oregon Home Office: 100 S.W. Market Su, Portland.
