BLUE CROSS CONTRACT

Mrs. Smith reported that she had visited three hospitals in three different states
and inquired about the Blue Cross plan in operation in each state. So far as she could determine,
the Virginia Blue Cross plan seemed to differ from the plan now used in other states. In
Florida none of the fees collected from private patients over and above the amount paid by Blue
Cross are recaptured by Blue Cross. It was Mrs. Smith's impression that the whole matter should
be investigated.

Whereupon a resolution was adopted requesting the Medical Committee to examine the
present Blue Cross contract and report to the Board.
