Description
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama ("BCBS") appeals from a summary judgment entered by the Montgomery Circuit Court in favor of Donald Hodurski, M.D., and two physician assistants, Norman Hobbs and Samuel Irvine (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the providers"). The issue presented is whether a statute included in the Insurance Code, the Physician Assistant Act, codified at § 27-51-1, Ala. Code 1975, is applicable to BCBS, a nonprofit health-care service organization that exists pursuant to Title 10 of the Alabama Code of 1975. BCBS argues that the Physician Assistant Act cannot apply to it because the provisions of § 10-4-115 and § 27-1-4(2), Ala. Code 1975, describing the procedure for making laws regulating insurance applicable to entities such as BCBS, do not provide for its application. The providers argue that the Physician Assistant Act, enacted after the acts that were codified at § 10-4-115 and § 27-1-4(2), expressly describes entities such as BCBS as coming within its terms.
