North Dakota Health Care Forums

Starting this month, North Dakotans invited to share ideas on health care issues at Health Care Forums. Knowing that the cost of health care – and the resulting cost of premiums for health insurance coverage – is not sustainable, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) is hosting Health Care Forums across the state as part of its ongoing effort to develop local solutions to address the issues of cost, quality and access to care.

In August, all BCBSND members in the eastern half of North Dakota were mailed a survey; to date, more than 7,000 members have weighed in with thoughts, concerns and topics they wish to hear covered live during these discussions. President and CEO Paul von Ebers will be responding to their questions, along with a guest provider in the area, during each of these forums. The western part of the state will receive a mailed survey starting mid-September.
 

Attending the event in person is not the only way to participate. You can also:

•Submit questions online at www.NDHealthCareForums.com before and during the forums.

•Follow and contribute to the discussion on BCBSND Twitter and Facebook.

•View the forums live, or view later at www.NDHealthCareForums.com. 

Complete information, addresses and driving instructions to all locations is also available at www.NDHealthCareForums.com, at any Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota office, or by calling 800-342-4718.
