BLUE CROSS

The President reported that the Virginia Hospital Service Association was offering a revision
in its contract, effective July 1, 1953, which would enable a member hospital to receive 100%
of its reimbursable costs provided they did not exceed 110% of the average cost of member hospitals
and, in addition, the hospital could retain the difference between the average semi-private room
charge and the amount charged each Blue Cross patient electing a private room.
