Some Central New York doctors are turning to the Teamsters Union to help them fight what they see as increasingly heavy-handed tactics by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, the area's dominant health insurer.

The local doctors are believed to be the first private practitioners in the nation to join the 1.4 million-member union, according to Steve Richmond, president of Local 1149. "They are frustrated with insurance companies trying to dictate patient care," Richmond said
