Anthem pays patients to choose cheaper docs

Its new "SmartShopper" program forces customers to be aware of healthcare costs because they can compare prices, reports the Hartford Courant. "The SmartShopper program is really building upon a philosophy that we have here at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of increased transparency, especially as members look for greater and greater choice," said Paul Bartosic, Anthem's director of sales.
