      <Description>The BlueCard program is a clearinghouse service provided when a member Plan participant receives healthcare in another member Plan geographic service area. National account membership maintained a 42 percent market share. The Blues had a national or local presense in 82 percent of Fortune 100 companies and 74 percent of the extended Fortune 500. The BlueCard program saved member Plans more than $71 billion in provider discounts, a 10 percent increase from 2009. BlueCard provider satisfaction improved 3 percent over the 2009 rating of 71 percent. Real time claims processing implemented at twelve member Plans in 2010 produced more than 8 million real-time transactions through the system. The program continued to support cost savings and claim cycle time reductions; thus, increasing the potential for increased member and provider satisfaction.</Description>

        <Description>The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Associations' Federal Employee Program (FEP) administers the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan. Approximately 61% percent of all federal employees and retirees who receive their health care benefits through the government's Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) are members of the Service Benefit Plan receiving health coverage through member Plans. Service Benefit Plan has been part of the FEHBP since its inception in 1960 and is the largest plan in the program. The FEP program provided service to more than 4.9 million members and maintained a retention rate of 98 percent. During 2010 the FEP program offered financial incentives to active members to encourage them to become more active in their healthcare decisions. Member participation was enhanced by the addition of online tools used to facilitate member health education and care coordination. Member health assessments completed on-line increased by almost 900 percent.The redesigned FEP website featuring a new content management system received 1 million more visits from members than in 2009. Two thirds of FEP members indicated they consider FEP a valuable tool for health information, an increase of 9 percent from 2009.</Description>

        <Explanation>In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC 740-10-25 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740-10-25 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Association adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2009. Under ASC 740-10-25, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The implementation of ASC 740-10-25 had no impact on the Association's consolidated financial statements. The Association does not believe there are any unrecognized tax benefits that should be recorded. No interest or penalties were accrued as of January 1, 2009 as a result of the adoption of ASC 740-10-25. No interest or penalties were recorded or included in the consolidated statement of activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Association is open to examination by taxing authorities from fiscal year 2007 forward.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>As an organization serving a system of locally based independent Plans offering health insurance in all 50 States, DC and Puerto Rico, the Association's officers are expected to maintain an unusually demanding travel schedule. Accordingly, a committee of the Association's Board comprised of independent Plan executives has established CEO travel policies designed to assure the organization is able to meet his travel commitments, including travel to underserved regional destinations. These policies include the use of charter aircraft and first class travel on scheduled commercial flights under certain limited circumstances. Housing allowance and tax gross up payments are solely applicable to employee relocation agreements.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The compensation of the CEO and the continued retention of his services are approved each year by a committee of the Association's Board comprised of independent Plan executives. That committee acts after deliberations based upon advice from a qualified independent compensation consulting firm. The consultant's advice and those deliberations include a review of the results of the independent consultant's research regarding compensation paid by other organizations for officers serving in capacities comparable to that of the Association's CEO. Each year this committee's decisions are reported to the full Board during a regularly scheduled meeting. The Board deliberates on both matters. Extension of the period of the CEO's service requires action by the full Board. The compensation determinations of the committee stand approved unless the Board exercises its inherent prerogative to modify the committee's compensation decisions. The same committee of independent Plan executives annually receives the CEO's recommendations regarding the compensation to be paid to the officers. As with the CEO's compensation, the deliberations of this committee and its decisions to approve or modify the CEO's recommendation are based upon the results of an independent consultant's market research regarding comparable officer pay and the independent consultant's advice.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>As required by the instructions to Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, a hypothetical SERP accrual was calculated for each reportable person who was eligible to participate in that program. The accrual amounts were determined using the Association's best estimate of the accrual using the methodology specified in the instructions to Schedule J. Because vested accruals under the SERP are currently taxed based on a different methodology and the instructions to Schedule J specify that amounts reported in columns B(i) through B(iii) should not be reported again in column C or D, the amount of imputed SERP income reported in column B(iii) was subtracted in each case and the balance of the hypothetical accrual was included in column C for the applicable reportable persons as follows: William A. Breskin - 5.77; Frank E Coyne Jr - 4,622.56; John T Ericksen - 8,915.39; Jena Estes -3,955.89; Alissa T Fox - 34,125.86; Justine Handleman - 5,133.47; Shirley S Lady - 512.01; William B O'Loughlin - 26,988.59; Doug Porter - 28,329.28; Jennifer Vachon - 291.67; Carole R Flamm - 5,446.91; Scott Serota -36,801.98. The amount of imputed SERP included in column C = 155,129.38</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Association maintains an Association wide annual performance bonus program that assures a portion of employees' annual compensation is contingent upon the attainment of pre-approved organizational performance goals, as weighted by the performance measurement process that evaluates each individual employee's efforts. Officers, like all employees, are eligible to participate in this program. The performance goals and the budget for this bonus program are approved each year by the Association's Board based upon recommendations from a Board committee consisting of independent Plan executives. Moreover, the performance assessment judgments and the approval of actual payouts require approval by that committee. The CEO also participates in a Long Term Incentive Bonus program. As with the regular performance bonus program, payouts under the Long Term Incentive Program reflect the extent to which preestablished performance goals are reached. However, unlike the annual performance bonus program, the Long Term Incentive program operates on a multi-year cycle to assure that the CEO has incentives that look beyond the immediate year. This program, the performance measurements and the assessment of the achievement of those goals and the resulting payout amounts are all approved by the same Board committee described above and reported to the full Board. The committee's deliberations regarding the establishment of the program, the selection of the performance factors and assessment of performance all include consultation and recommendation from a qualified independent compensation consultant based upon a market study of comparable programs for comparable executives.</Explanation>
