BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York (BCBSWNY) and BlueShield of Northeastern New York (BSNENY) have launched Online Care NY, a service that offers on-demand health care services in New York state to eligible members and employers.
Two divisions of HealthNow New York have teamed with a Massachusetts-based online care provider to bring web-based doctor visit to their clients, beginning this summer.
As a direct result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – also known as ObamaCare – health insurance agent and broker commissions have been slashed by as much as 50%. Agencies have been forced to lay off employees, limit products and services, shift to other lines, and have seen significant drops in compensation.
