Why this petition matters

Started by Tristan Potts

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the largest health insurer in the state, is putting its Customer Service Reps' and Claims Adjudicators' lives at risk by requiring them to show up in person at work to answer phone calls (most of which have nothing to do with COVID) and process claims. Approximately 90% of all claims processed are done electronically and without human processing. All the phone calls can be done remotely if they simply provide laptops or relocate desktops to employees' like other Company's have. Healthcare in Michigan will not stop without employees being onsite. We are asking to be allowed to work from home like every other insurer in the state and country. BCBSM IS NOT testing people before we enter the buildings to see if there are COVID symptoms. Employees are terrified that they might contract the virus and/or take it home to their loved ones, some of whom are immunocompromised and at high risk.

Please aid us in getting the word out that Blue Cross is making it's CSRs come to work (about 1500 employees across the state) while allowing its management employees and contractors to work from home. This is sickening, literally, and unacceptable. By this action, Blue Cross is making the public health crisis worse while at the same time representing itself as a responsible champion in the fight. They aren't even notifying all the people who could have been in contact with workers testing positive for COVID.

PLEASE SHARE AND HELP US get the word out.
