BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based St. Luke’s raised each employee’s health insurance premium by $1,100 in January 2022 but offered a premium discount to all vaccinated employees and unvaccinated employees with medical exemptions or deferrals to offset that entire amount, according to the suit.
