Today, you sent me an EOB, basically telling me I owe nothing. Aside from the window envelope, only the 1st pg of 3 pgs ofpaper meant anything to me. The 2nd & 3rd pigs were a complete waste of time, as they always are. I ask you to stop wastingpaper, ink and electricity. You're going to cite a bunch of laws, regs, etc. Gimme a break. You are BCBSIL. You have more powerthan most companies…anywhere. Change the rules. Stop the paper waste. Or at least offer your patients/customers the optionto opt out of all unnecessary paper. Change your protocols. Change the regs or laws. STOP WASTING PAPER! You are far frompowerless to do so. Thank you, Michael
