UPDATE: Florida Blue Contract Negotiations with NCH September 16, 2024
Last evening, September 16, Florida Blue leaders hosted a discussion with nearly 50 members of the business and non-profit communities about its current negotiations with NCH.
The session was well-attended by community leaders who were eager to understand what is being done to prevent burdensome cost increases for employers and organizations in Southwest Florida.
Florida Blue’s Phillip Lee, West Florida Market President, reiterated that Florida Blue is committed to keeping NCH in-network and is hopeful that an agreement can be reached. “We’re asking NCH to do their part in addressing the spiraling cost of health care services and improving care delivery.

Two common surgeries equally effective for treating blinding condition of the eyelid
On a normal eyelid (left), eyelashes are turned outward away from the cornea. Eyelids affected by trichiasis (center) have eyelashes touching the eye. Surgery for eyelids affected by trichiasis (right), rotates the eyelash away from the cornea, returning them to their normal anatomic position. National Eye Institute
NIH-funded study supports no change to surgical technique for trichiasis management
Sept 17, 2024 – Trachomatous trichiasis, a potentially blinding condition where inward-turned eyelashes scratch the front of the eye, can successfully be treated by either of the two most common types of eyelid surgery, according to findings from a large comparison trial funded by the National Institutes of Health. In light of previous, smaller studies, which suggested that one of the commonly used surgery types had poorer outcomes, this study provides reassurance that either technique can treat the condition. The study, published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, was supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of NIH.
