So Much For A Paper-Free Society

A three-inch thick packet arrived today inwards the mail.  It contained these documents from Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA to explicate my Medicare Advantage plan:  Provider directory; chemist's shop directory; formulary; as well as benefits summary. 

I fearfulness that I volition directly perish the same packet in 1 trial a twelvemonth for the residue of my life, equally the directories as well as such are updated.

Perhaps at that spot is simply about provision inwards federal constabulary that requires that such things endure sent inwards newspaper form.  Or peradventure BCBS of MA makes this determination on its own.

But, really, can't nosotros perish beyond this wasteful do as well as simply bring these documents available on a website? Or, at least, laissez passer a subscriber the pick to have them electronically?

Addendum:  BCBS sent me a reply on Twitter:  "We part your frustration, mailings similar this are required to endure printed & sent. We'll proceed to explore paperless equally allowed."

Thanks, folks!
