Point of View Series

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas has created a series of Point of View statements that express our position on key health care issues. These statements describe our core beliefs and approach on high priority topics, and provide a brief overview of the marketplace.

• Customer Ownership   
  Unlike a stockholder-owned company, a customer-owned company enjoys perfectly aligned interests.
  

• Medical Care Management 
  Effective medical care management can help increase employee productivity, drive more appropriate utilization of health care resources and have a positive impact on health care costs.

• Metabolic Syndrome 
  Metabolic syndrome (MetS) places people at high risk for developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other debilitating illnesses. It also jeopardizes the health and productivity of employees.

• Wellness 
  The wellness movement presents a strategic opportunity for employers to improve employee health and productivity, while also addressing rising health care costs.
