Genesco’s involvement in health planning is perhaps best illustrated by a trip I took recently. A senior vice-president from Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Tennessee picked me up at 8:30 A.M., and we drove to a small community hospital in a rural area. We were going because this hospital has the worst loss ratio of any hospital Genesco deals with. Our plan in this particular town has 270 contracts, and yet this little 32-bed hospital was dispensing close to half a million dollars a year in services to Genesco employees. Last year the claims paid versus premiums collected for our plant in this county was a net loss in excess of $100,000, and experience so far indicated that the loss for this year would exceed $350,000. I was very anxious to see this facility because it was wrecking the experience of our health care program for this particular operating company. We pulled into town, went to the plant and picked up our plant manager and personnel director, and proceeded on to a meeting with the hospital director and the Board of Trustees. |
