Maybe They'll Rank Auto Glass Shops Someday In the past few months, New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo's office has requested information from several health insurers, including Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) and Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, about how they rank doctors under their insurance programs. The Attorney General is concerned that these ranking programs are potentially deceptive, driven by financial motives and not necessarily the consumers' best interests. Cuomo suggests the use of established national standards to measure quality of care, and to disclose to consumers how the program is designed and how the doctors are ranked. Of course, this issue raises the question: What would happen if auto insurance companies followed suit and ranked auto glass shops?
