Description
Blue Cross Blue Shield Association serves as a fiscal intermediary in the Medicare program, processing providers claims for reimbursement from the federal fisc. Sam Kulumani worked in its Medicare unit as an accountant (a position called "consultant") between 1989 and 1997. Promoted once in 1993, Kulumani sought another promotion in 1996. This time he was turned down. Worse lay in store. Since 1994 the federal government has wanted more for less, and every year it reduced what it paid Blue Cross for claims-processing services. The Health Care Finance Administration, on whose behalf Blue Cross acts, told Blue Cross that its compensation for Medicare claims-handling work in fiscal 1997 (beginning October 1, 1996) would be about $1 million less than for fiscal 1996. Blue Cross decided that some employees had to go. Kulumani turned out to be one of those and was discharged in February 1997. In this suit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. sec.sec. 2000e to 2000e-17, Kulumani accuses Blue Cross of national-origin discrimination (his ancestors hale from India, and Kulumani himself took a law degree there) in both the nonpromotion decision and the discharge decision. The district judge granted summary judgment to Blue Cross, 1999 U.S. Dist. Lexis 11896 (N.D. Ill. July 27, 1999), concluding among other things that Kulumani did not have evidence calling into question Blue Crosss explanations for its actions: that no higher position was open in 1996, and that he was let go in 1997 as the weakest of Blue Crosss comparable employees.
