I first met my coauthors Dr. Metcalfe, Ms. Vu, and Dr. Underwood when I was looking for someone at BCBSTX who had access to freestanding emergency claims in Texas. My coauthors played a crucial role in providing access to the BCBSTX claims and participating in the calculation of all of the statistics reported in the paper. I have never received financial or other support for my research from BCBSTX or any of the BCBS affiliates across the country. In the past 13 years at the Baker Institue, as far as I can recall, the Institute has not received a donation or other support from BCBS.” Dr. Dark reports support from Community Health Choice, HealthCorps, and Schumacher Clinical Partners.
