- Description:
- The proposal suggests coverage by Blue Cross and Blue Shield for Oklahoma Indians, with cost computations provided for services such as hospitalization, physicians charges, dentist charges, prescription drugs, ambulance, eye-glasses, and immunizations. The calculations are based on actuarial data specific to Oklahoma Indians, with adjustments made to accommodate their potentially poorer health compared to the average Blue Cross member. The proposal includes detailed calculations for in-patient hospital costs.
