"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>The Berkeley School Board voted Wednesday to scrap the name of LeConte Elementary School, which was selected more than a century ago in honor of racist conservationist Joseph LeConte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unanimous vote sets in motion an effort to select a new name for the South Berkeley school, sometimes spelled “Le Conte,” by next summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside reported earlier this week on the parental and staff campaign to discontinue the name LeConte after it was discovered that the accomplished UC Berkeley geologist and conservationist not only owned slaves in Georgia, but continued speaking and writing about the inferiority of black people — and the “blood purity of the higher race” — for decades after the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a presentation to the board Wednesday, BUSD community relations director Natasha Beery noted that LeConte built explosives for the Confederacy during the war. When the war ended, he was an outspoken critic of the suffrage of emancipated slaves and later of women, out of step with many in Berkeley at the time, said Beery, who studied the namesake in preparation for the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LeConte Elementary parents, many of whom signed a petition in favor of a name change, urged the School Board to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear Joseph LeConte was an outspoken white supremacist who likely would not have been in favor of educating many of the students — the majority of students — that walk the halls of our school, simply because they’re children of color,” said PTA president Leah Martens at the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School Board members also spoke passionately about their belief that LeConte was not an appropriate namesake for a school. The elementary school is in the process of becoming the district’s fully bilingual immersion campus, and parents and board members said the name was especially unreflective of the school’s new identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Josh Daniels, a Berkeley native, said it is important to reckon with past decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really interesting to learn about the history and the place I’ve called home my whole life, and for many reasons I’m very proud of, but also to not try to hide from the fact that there was redlining in Berkeley, for example,” he said. “We, like the rest of this country, have a history we cannot ignore and should not always be proud of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board president Ty Alper read from passages of LeConte’s writings he had found to be egregious, as well as from an email sent to him Wednesday by a woman whose ancestors were enslaved on LeConte’s plantation. She wrote that she has documentation showing LeConte bought her relatives for $25-$500, and that his botanical garden in Georgia was built with their free labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has made me sick to my stomach to see his name on schools,” she wrote in the email Alper read aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody at the board meeting spoke in favor of maintaining the name, but some neighbors expressed their frustration with the process that led up to the vote. Some said that despite what the district has said, they were not notified about a community meeting on the issue that was held in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s fairly new policy on renaming facilities does not require the district to involve the community outside of the school walls in the de-naming effort — which is a mistake, said Mark Coplan, former BUSD spokesman and LeConte neighbor. He said at the board meeting that he pleaded with the board to include mandatory input from neighbors in the policy when it was being drafted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Please let’s have a community process,” said Gianna Ranuzzi, president of the LeConte Neighborhood Association. “This is a very good educational opportunity. … I don’t see why we can’t wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I respectfully disagree with the assertion that the neighbors have an equal stake with the students, staff and families” of a school, Daniels said in response. If there were physical changes to the facility that affected neighboring households, that would be a different story, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Judy Appel said the district could do a better job of including the neighbors in the selection of a new name, as schools are “part of the fabric” of a neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a lesson that we need to make sure to really include the neighborhood in the recommendations that are going to come to this board for renaming the school,” she said. The board’s policy on renaming a school requires three community meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other forums, some residents have said they are concerned the name change will begin a trend wherein the many complex and problematic namesakes of institutions in Berkeley will all be questioned, leading to the methodic erasure of history. Columbus Elementary was already renamed Rosa Parks Elementary in 2000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board members said they think all de-naming proposals should be considered with skepticism and on their individual merits. The board policy prevents multiple renaming efforts from occurring simultaneously and calls for a review of the effectiveness of the policy before a new effort is initiated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve built into this process a sort of moratorium,” Alper said at the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said of the LeConte decision, “this was an easy case.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

When the war ended, he was an outspoken critic of the suffrage of emancipated slaves and later of women, out of step with many in Berkeley at the time, said Beery, who studied the namesake in preparation for the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LeConte Elementary parents, many of whom signed a petition in favor of a name change, urged the School Board to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The elementary school is in the process of becoming the district’s fully bilingual immersion campus, and parents and board members said the name was especially unreflective of the school’s new identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Josh Daniels, a Berkeley native, said it is important to reckon with past decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really interesting to learn about the history and the place I’ve called home my whole life, and for many reasons I’m very proud of, but also to not try to hide from the fact that there was redlining in Berkeley, for example,” he said. “We, like the rest of this country, have a history we cannot ignore and should not always be proud of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board president Ty Alper read from passages of LeConte’s writings he had found to be egregious, as well as from an email sent to him Wednesday by a woman whose ancestors were enslaved on LeConte’s plantation. She wrote that she has documentation showing LeConte bought her relatives for $25-$500, and that his botanical garden in Georgia was built with their free labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has made me sick to my stomach to see his name on schools,” she wrote in the email Alper read aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody at the board meeting spoke in favor of maintaining the name, but some neighbors expressed their frustration with the process that led up to the vote. Some said that despite what the district has said, they were not notified about a community meeting on the issue that was held in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s fairly new policy on renaming facilities does not require the district to involve the community outside of the school walls in the de-naming effort — which is a mistake, said Mark Coplan, former BUSD spokesman and LeConte neighbor. He said at the board meeting that he pleaded with the board to include mandatory input from neighbors in the policy when it was being drafted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Please let’s have a community process,” said Gianna Ranuzzi, president of the LeConte Neighborhood Association. “This is a very good educational opportunity. … I don’t see why we can’t wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I respectfully disagree with the assertion that the neighbors have an equal stake with the students, staff and families” of a school, Daniels said in response. If there were physical changes to the facility that affected neighboring households, that would be a different story, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Judy Appel said the district could do a better job of including the neighbors in the selection of a new name, as schools are “part of the fabric” of a neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a lesson that we need to make sure to really include the neighborhood in the recommendations that are going to come to this board for renaming the school,” she said. The board’s policy on renaming a school requires three community meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other forums, some residents have said they are concerned the name change will begin a trend wherein the many complex and problematic namesakes of institutions in Berkeley will all be questioned, leading to the methodic erasure of history. Columbus Elementary was already renamed Rosa Parks Elementary in 2000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board members said they think all de-naming proposals should be considered with skepticism and on their individual merits. The board policy prevents multiple renaming efforts from occurring simultaneously and calls for a review of the effectiveness of the policy before a new effort is initiated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve built into this process a sort of moratorium,” Alper said at the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said of the LeConte decision, “this was an easy case.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>With a declaration that “public servants best serve the citizenry when they can be candid and honest without reservation in conducting the people’s business,” lawmakers passed the California Whistleblower Protection Act in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to protect workers who report misconduct, so that they can blow the whistle on bad actors without losing their jobs. The bill at that time covered workers at state agencies and California’s two public university systems. Lawmakers expanded it in 2010 to cover employees of the state’s courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one group of California government workers has never had whistleblower protection under the law: those who work for the lawmakers themselves. It’s an example of how the Legislature sometimes imposes laws on other people that it doesn’t adhere to itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lawmakers make laws that affect all of us, including them, and they are softening the blow of regulations for themselves,” said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School who chairs the Los Angeles Ethics Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels like double talk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s exemption from the Whistleblower Protection Act has garnered attention in recent weeks, as a groundswell of women complaining of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-women-harassment-capitol-20171017-story.html\">pervasive sexual harassment\u003c/a> in the state Capitol \u003ca href=\"https://www.cadem.org/news/press-releases/2017/california-democratic-party-statement-from-cdp-womens-caucus-chair-christine-pelosi-on-sexual-harassment-in-politics\">publicly call\u003c/a> for such protections for legislative employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"zfjSsmeCIZQYm8TpAkJoTZ3YH4zqc0FP\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the whistleblower act isn’t the only area of the law in which the Legislature has demonstrated a “do as I say, not as I do” mentality:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Public Records\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Want to know whom government officials are meeting with, talking to or emailing? Or how officials were disciplined after an investigation found them culpable of wrongdoing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State agencies and local governments must release such information—calendars, emails and disciplinary records—under the California Public Records Act, which the Legislature created in 1968. But the same information is nearly impossible to get from state lawmakers because the Public Records Act does not apply to the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, lawmakers are covered by the Legislative Open Records Act, which they passed in 1975 in the wake of the Watergate scandal. The act that applies to them is riddled with exceptions, effectively keeping secret many documents that other branches of government must disclose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature has created, in many areas, a black box where the public can’t see records it would be entitled to see if the public officials at issue weren’t in the Legislature,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a nonprofit organization advocating government transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s open-records law allows it to withhold investigations of wrongdoing, even when they led to disciplinary action. It also keeps secret correspondence by lawmakers and their staff, as well as officials’ calendars. The Legislature even refused to give reporters the calendars of two senators undergoing federal prosecution on corruption charges, until media companies sued and won \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailynews.com/2015/06/04/los-angeles-news-group-prevails-in-final-ruling-on-yee-calderon-calendars/\">a court order\u003c/a> compelling their release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"FkQHv2bO0BXPQy9z38DegpxP2kImBdxq\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another difference: As more government agencies began storing information electronically, the Legislature updated the Public Records Act in 2000 to compel disclosure of digital records. Now state agencies and local governments must provide public records in any format in which they exist. That gives the public access to electronic records, such as databases, in their original digital format.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Legislature has never made the same update to its own open-records act. \"It was a non-starter,\" former Assemblyman Kevin Shelley told \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article14446568.html\">the Sacramento Bee\u003c/a> in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Open Meetings\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The idea that government meetings should be open to the public, and designed to welcome public input, has been enshrined in California law for more than 60 years. In 1953, the Legislature passed the open-meeting law that applies to local governments, and in 1967 it passed a similar one for state agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the 1973 law it passed requiring open meetings of the Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2014/10/aa-open-meeting-law-covers-ca-legislature/\">does not follow\u003c/a> the same rules. One major difference: It allows legislators to gather secretly in partisan caucuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When contentious issues hit the floor of the Assembly or the Senate, it’s common for one political party or the other to pause proceedings and call for a caucus. Legislators file out of the chamber and into two private meeting rooms where Democrats and Republicans separately gather for conversations that exclude the public and the press. They can hash out disagreements or craft strategy behind closed doors, then return to the chamber to publicly cast their votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments, such as city councils, cannot do this. With a few limited exceptions, state law forbids a majority of a local board from gathering privately precisely because it shuts the public out of the decision-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always remember county supervisors being rankled,” said Peter Detwiler, a retired long-time staffer to the state Senate’s local government committee. “‘You guys put these rules on us and you don’t ever put rules like that on yourself.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11631415\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"California state senators weigh a new state budget in June, 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11631415\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California state senators weigh a new state budget in June, 2015. \u003ccite>(Max Whittaker/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The same laws also slow down decision-making by local governments and state agencies so that the public can weigh in. Local governments must give at least three days notice before taking action, while state agencies have to post agendas 10 days in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators, until this year, did not have the same constraints. Though most bills go through a months-long process of public deliberations, a handful of bills each session were written just hours before lawmakers cast votes on them, leaving the public no time to offer their input.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s exemption from the Whistleblower Protection Act has garnered attention in recent weeks, as a groundswell of women complaining of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-women-harassment-capitol-20171017-story.html\">pervasive sexual harassment\u003c/a> in the state Capitol \u003ca href=\"https://www.cadem.org/news/press-releases/2017/california-democratic-party-statement-from-cdp-womens-caucus-chair-christine-pelosi-on-sexual-harassment-in-politics\">publicly call\u003c/a> for such protections for legislative employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the whistleblower act isn’t the only area of the law in which the Legislature has demonstrated a “do as I say, not as I do” mentality:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Public Records\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Want to know whom government officials are meeting with, talking to or emailing? Or how officials were disciplined after an investigation found them culpable of wrongdoing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State agencies and local governments must release such information—calendars, emails and disciplinary records—under the California Public Records Act, which the Legislature created in 1968. But the same information is nearly impossible to get from state lawmakers because the Public Records Act does not apply to the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, lawmakers are covered by the Legislative Open Records Act, which they passed in 1975 in the wake of the Watergate scandal. The act that applies to them is riddled with exceptions, effectively keeping secret many documents that other branches of government must disclose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature has created, in many areas, a black box where the public can’t see records it would be entitled to see if the public officials at issue weren’t in the Legislature,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a nonprofit organization advocating government transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s open-records law allows it to withhold investigations of wrongdoing, even when they led to disciplinary action. It also keeps secret correspondence by lawmakers and their staff, as well as officials’ calendars. The Legislature even refused to give reporters the calendars of two senators undergoing federal prosecution on corruption charges, until media companies sued and won \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailynews.com/2015/06/04/los-angeles-news-group-prevails-in-final-ruling-on-yee-calderon-calendars/\">a court order\u003c/a> compelling their release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another difference: As more government agencies began storing information electronically, the Legislature updated the Public Records Act in 2000 to compel disclosure of digital records. Now state agencies and local governments must provide public records in any format in which they exist. That gives the public access to electronic records, such as databases, in their original digital format.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Legislature has never made the same update to its own open-records act. \"It was a non-starter,\" former Assemblyman Kevin Shelley told \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article14446568.html\">the Sacramento Bee\u003c/a> in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Open Meetings\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The idea that government meetings should be open to the public, and designed to welcome public input, has been enshrined in California law for more than 60 years. In 1953, the Legislature passed the open-meeting law that applies to local governments, and in 1967 it passed a similar one for state agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the 1973 law it passed requiring open meetings of the Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2014/10/aa-open-meeting-law-covers-ca-legislature/\">does not follow\u003c/a> the same rules. One major difference: It allows legislators to gather secretly in partisan caucuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When contentious issues hit the floor of the Assembly or the Senate, it’s common for one political party or the other to pause proceedings and call for a caucus. Legislators file out of the chamber and into two private meeting rooms where Democrats and Republicans separately gather for conversations that exclude the public and the press. They can hash out disagreements or craft strategy behind closed doors, then return to the chamber to publicly cast their votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments, such as city councils, cannot do this. With a few limited exceptions, state law forbids a majority of a local board from gathering privately precisely because it shuts the public out of the decision-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always remember county supervisors being rankled,” said Peter Detwiler, a retired long-time staffer to the state Senate’s local government committee. “‘You guys put these rules on us and you don’t ever put rules like that on yourself.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11631415\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"California state senators weigh a new state budget in June, 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11631415\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/StateSenatorsChambers-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California state senators weigh a new state budget in June, 2015. \u003ccite>(Max Whittaker/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The same laws also slow down decision-making by local governments and state agencies so that the public can weigh in. Local governments must give at least three days notice before taking action, while state agencies have to post agendas 10 days in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators, until this year, did not have the same constraints. Though most bills go through a months-long process of public deliberations, a handful of bills each session were written just hours before lawmakers cast votes on them, leaving the public no time to offer their input.

"content": "\u003cp>California’s managed-care regulator announced Wednesday it has fined insurance giant Anthem Blue Cross $5 million for repeatedly failing to resolve consumer grievances in a timely manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Managed Health Care criticized Anthem, the nation’s second-largest health insurer, for systemic violations and a long history of flouting the law in regard to consumer complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anthem Blue Cross’ failures to comply with the law surrounding grievance and appeals rights are long-standing, ongoing and unacceptable,” said Shelley Rouillard, director of the Department of Managed Health Care. “Anthem knows this is a huge problem, but they haven’t addressed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before this latest action, California had already fined Anthem more than $6 million collectively for grievance-system violations since 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state said it identified 245 grievance-system violations during this latest investigation of consumer complaints at Anthem from 2013 to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rouillard cited one example in which Anthem denied a submitted claim for an extensive surgical procedure, even though it had issued prior approval for the operation. Twenty-two calls contesting the denial — placed by the patient, the patient’s spouse, the couple’s insurance broker and the medical provider — failed to resolve the complaint. It was not until the patient sought help from the managed-care agency, more than six months after the treatment, that Anthem paid the claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Anthem acknowledged there are some legitimate findings in the audit, but it strongly disagreed with the state’s assertion that the problems are “systemic and ongoing.” The company said it will contest the fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anthem has taken responsibility for errors in the past and has made significant changes in our grievance and appeals process, as well as investments in system improvements,” the company said. “We remain committed to putting the needs of our members first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthem Inc., based in Indianapolis, sells Blue Cross policies in California and 13 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is known for having tough consumer protection laws on health coverage and for assisting policyholders when they exhaust their appeals with insurers. In other actions, the state has fined insurers for overstating the extent of their doctor networks and for denying patients timely access to mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog, an advocacy group in Santa Monica, Calif., said the regulatory response to these problems varies greatly by state. He singled out New York, Washington and Kansas as some of the states with good track records of holding health insurers accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real problem is when states don’t act there is not a great avenue for the consumer. It’s very hard to bring legal action,” Court said. “Anthem definitely needed a wake-up call. But this will also send a message to other insurers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, consumers continue to express their displeasure with health insurers over a wide range of issues, including denials for treatment, billing disputes and the lack of in-network doctors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verified complaints related to health insurance and accident coverage rose 12 percent in 2016 compared to the previous year, totaling 53,680, according to data compiled by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The data only includes incidents in which state regulators confirmed there was a violation or error by the insurer involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court and other advocates welcomed the significant fine in California and said this is just the latest example of Anthem’s failure to uphold basic consumer protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, state officials said that calls to Anthem’s customer service department often led to repeated transfers and that the company failed to follow up with enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the history of Anthem and the penalties assessed over the years, they are definitely an outlier compared to other health plans,” Rouillard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the plans have some issues with grievances, but nothing to the degree we are seeing with Anthem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The managed-care department said a health plan’s grievance program is critical, so that consumers know they have the right to pursue an \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint/IndependentMedicalReview(IMR).aspx#.Wgxw3mhSyUk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">independent medical \u003c/a>review or file a complaint with regulators if they are dissatisfied with the insurer’s decision. The grievance system can also help insurers identify systemic problems and improve customer service, state officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s independent medical review program allows consumers to have their case heard by doctors who are not tied to their health plan. The cases often arise when an insurer denies a patient’s request for treatment or a prescription drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, insurance company denials were overturned in nearly 70 percent of medical review cases and patients received the requested treatment, according to state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> (KHN) is a national health policy news service.
