BCBS of Oklahoma posted an online alert, notifying its members that two Muskogee hospitals and many of the physicians swept into the Saint Francis network had been removed from its network of providers for seven plans. Saint Francis officials issued a statement Wednesday night, saying in-network services at Saint Francis Muskogee Hospital remain available to BCBS of Oklahoma members. They declined to elaborate or explain the contradicting statements. Saint Francis Health System bought EASTARs east campus and assumed the remainder of a 40-year lease for its main campus, a facility that is owned by a city trust formerly known as Muskogee Regional Medical Center. The acquisition by the Tulsa-based network of hospitals, clinics and physicians was announced in February and finalized Saturday. BCBS officials, in the online alert that was removed Wednesday following media inquiries, attributed the problems to a decision made by Saint Francis to reject reimbursement rates previously accepted by EASTAR. That decision resulted with Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee and its physicians being removed from the insurers network of providers, but the situation began to shift Wednesday. At this time, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma is engaged in confidential negotiations with Saint Francis with the intent to protect our members in the Muskogee community, spokeswoman Lauren Cusick said. We are unable to comment further. Saint Francis officials acknowledged in their statement that they continued to be engaged in confidential negotiations but were unable to provide additional information at this time. Local health care consumers began sharing concerns after learning they might have to find new primary care providers or travel to hospitals outside Muskogee to secure in-network savings offered by their insurance plans. Ronnie Ball said he learned about the situation when he went to a scheduled doctors appointment to get a report from lab work that had been done earlier. Ball, who has coverage through the Blue Cross Medicare Advantage PPO plan, said he learned after he arrived his insurance would not be accepted because his physician was no longer considered an in-network provider as a result of the Saint Francis-EASTAR deal. That leaves me … without a local hospital to go to unless I want to risk paying out-of-network costs or maybe having to pay 100 percent of the costs, Ball said. I wonder what was behind this decision now that there may be thousands of people in the Muskogee area who no longer have insurance coverage with local doctors or if they do they are out of network. Cusick was unable to provide information about how many people in the Muskogee area might be affected by Saint Francis decision if there is no breakthrough in the renewed negotiations.

In this case, $5,000 of the Social Security benefit is added to taxable income (50% of the difference between total provisional income of $42,000 and $32,000) resulting in $35,000 of total taxable income. This taxable income is then offset by your deductions and personal exemptions. (For related reading, see: How Social Security Benefits Are Taxed .) Assuming we are taking the standard deduction of $12,600 (married filing jointly for 2016) and two exemptions ($4,050 each), that gives us a total of $20,700 in deductions. So youre left with $14,300 of taxable income ($35,000$20,700) which is taxed at the 10% marginal tax rate. For those filing as married (joint), they can go up to $18,550 of income and still remain at the 10% tax rate. Therefore, an opportunity exists to take an additional $4,250 of income in the form of withdrawals from your tax-deferred accounts and remain at the 10% marginal tax rate. Of course, if your provisional income wasn’t greater than $32,000 (or $25,000 for those filing a single return), your Social Security benefit would be completely tax-free, and there would potentially exist an even greater opportunity to optimize your IRA distributions. You could take up to $20,700 if you had no other income and pay zero in taxes (because its offset by your standard deduction and personal exemptions ) or take $39,250 in withdrawals, of which the first $20,700 is offset by deductions and the next $18,550 is taxed at the 10% rate, for an effective rate of 4.7%. Not too bad. Should You Delay Your Social Security Benefits?

How Analytics Is Helping to Curb Insurance Losses Analytics are now being used to predict the relative likelihood of different loss-producing events at a location. Copycat lawsuits are a common problem for corporations. For example, multiple lawsuits often are filed after the price of a companys stock drops, each claiming that alleged misconduct or neglect of management contributed to the loss. When theyre faced with multiple claims or lawsuits that seem to contain common or similar allegations, corporate policyholders need to understand the insurance implications of characterizing those multiple claims as related. Most claims-made liability insurance policies treat all related claims (or claims alleging interrelated wrongful acts) as if they were one claim, which is considered made when the earliest claim was asserted. Recommended Stories: Settlements Skyrocket in Securities Class Actions The issue of whether multiple claims are related under the policy language will have significant financial consequences. For example, if many claims are treated as one claim, only one deductible must be paid before coverage kicks in. Conversely, if there are multiple claims, a policyholder may have to pay multiple deductibles. A policyholder facing hundreds or thousands of relatively low-dollar claims that do not exceed the deductible may effectively have no coverage if the claims are treated individually. But they may have enough coverage if the claims are related and only one deductible must be paid before the policy limits can be accessed. Further, multiple claims each have a separate per claim limit of liability up to any aggregate limit of liability so if claims are related, only one per claim limit is available to cover the loss. Also, if a current claim is deemed related to a claim under an earlier policy, and that earlier policys limits have been exhausted, the policyholder may have limited coverage even though it has fresh limits in the current policy period.

Despite the fact that the General Assembly is controlled by fellow Republicans, he faces push-back again on his tax reform plan to raise sales, cigarette, and alcohol taxes and expand the sales tax to more professional services to underwrite another income tax cut and a school funding proposal that could lead to cuts to about two-thirds of districts.
