From the supplier: Blue Cross of California plans to reduce fees paid to the more than 13,000 physicians who are part of its managed care system by 5-6% to curtail the rapidly rising costs of physician services. Blue Cross, in a May 11, 1993, letter, notified participating physicians that surgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists and pathologists would have fee cuts but that primary physician fees would remain intact. The California Medical Assn expressed displeasure with the decision, which has received nationwide attention.
