    John Hornbuckle emails Mac McCutcheon about forming a consulting firm to help Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama (BCBS) address new healthcare billing schemes that could cost them hundreds of millions. He notes that he and Chris previously warned BCBS about direct physician billing and in-house labs. Their firm would investigate new schemes through "feet on the streets" and act as professional investigators for BCBS in exchange for a $500,000 retainer plus a percentage of projected savings. Their approach would candidly address the "healthcare war" and "silent weapon technology" being used against BCBS.

    Hello Mac,

    Chris and I met with BCBS some time ago to forewarn their organization about physician direct billing, in-house
    laboratories, and other stealth models that began exploiting BCBS of Alabama's lab space for literally tens of millions of
    dollars. We have never received any accurate data on the billing trend "spikes" but we are aware of the physician drivers
    that prompted Draft 566.

    Our recent history with BCBS clearly shows we offered consulting services in good faith for the greater good of the
    citizens of Alabama as well as BCBS of Alabama, and we were right. We go it right sir. If we had been BCBS Consultants
    at that time, we may have mitigated the economic losses and inappropriate ordering of lab tests with a targeted head-on
    approach.

    Now and most recently, BCBS is about to be under another stealth attack with a billing scheme unlike anything anyone
    has ever imagined. They cannot see it, and they will not realize it until hundreds of millions of dollars are billed out and
    paid to the physicians as well as the manufacturing companies who are "manufacturing" this new bombshell. Pun
    intended.

    We are ready to approach BCBS with a solid consulting team to save them hundreds of millions of dollars. We will act as
    feet on the streets as well as professional investigators on behalf of BCBS. 

    Our consulting firm could request a retainer of $500,000 to finance / support our efforts plus a percentage of the projected
    savings. We will spell out our milestones / benchmarks and they will be met. Our firm will provide a description of this
    healthcare war, its strategies, and its weaponry. The solution for BCBS's problems requires an approach which is
    ruthlessly candid. Silent weapon technology has evolved and all of this healthcare science is merely a means to an end.
    The means is knowledge. The end is control. We can provide BCBS with the technology and intelligence to allow them to
    provide the most cost effective coverage, and keep the kids out of the sand box.

    These are silent weapons that must be stopped. We got it right before. We are right again.

    Respectfully,

    John,

    This is a great email and if BCBS would bite, we could help them out along with ourselves.  You did present a very
    interesting case to Robyn when we were down there a year or so ago.  Keep up the great work!

    Respectfully,
    Cmack
