Dignity Health stuck new mom with bill for preemie, until ProPublica asked questions
ProPublica may have saved a young family from financial ruin while illustrating the harsh realities of today's health insurance landscape. The story is about 30-year-old Lauren Bard, a nurse at a hospital in San Bernardino, Calif., who gave birth to a baby some three and a half months prematurely last year. Three days after the birth, Bard called Anthem Blue Cross, which administers her health plan, and added her daughter to her coverage. All was well, except for one problem: She was unaware of a technicality required by her employer, Dignity Health.
