Oregon’s Insurance Commissioner extends public comment
period regarding DCIPA's plans to transfer ownership interest in ATRIO
(Medicare Advantage Plan) to DCIPA's new partnership with Mercy Medical Center,
Architrave. The extension was necessary
after Oregon Patients Rights Association (OPRA) made a request at a recent hearing
that additional documents regarding the application be released to the public. After the hearing, Oregon Insurance Commissioner
required more documents be disclosed and extended the time for public comment.
Anyone, with concerns about this transfer, can file
objections with the Oregon Insurance Commissioner until 5:00 p.m., Tuesday,
May, 21, 2013. According to the Insurance Commission, "Written comments
must be RECEIVED by the Insurance Division by the deadline. Written comments
may be submitted via e-mail to arussell.latham@state.or.us or by mail to
Russell Latham, Financial Regulation Section, Oregon Insurance Division, P. O.
Box 14480, Salem, OR 97309-0405."

There will always be multiple views to everything. Insurance companies will always have the laws changing for them, and it is their responsibility to stay up on those laws to make sure they don't break any of them. I find it good that the public is able to comment for an extend amount of time. http://www.allins.ca/products_and_services.html
