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.
