Cross Plan subscribers are making increasingly greater use of the services offered them in their prepaid hospital contracts the April report shows Eutsler director of the Holston Valley Community Hospital said Saturday that the Blue Cross utilization rate has risen as of April to 64 This means he explained that hospital service is being used at such a rate that if everyone of the Plan's 48000 participants were to have an equal share of hospital care during the year each would receive 64 of a day's service The average utilization rate for the full year 1947 was only 53 Mr Eutsler pointed out which means that the current utilization is approximately 20 per cent higher than last average The result of such a trend is also indicated in the monthly report April 1948 payments to hospitals for Blue Cross patients exceeded April 1947 payments by $14250 Hopes For Normal Level Although the early months of the year usually produce higher-than-average utilization rates Mr Eutsler said the present rate is definitely high It is to be hoped he added that the next few months will bring the figure down to its normal level Blue Cross paid more than $30- 000 for services to its subscribers
