The minority partners in TriSourcw also declined to comment on the deal becaused of aconfidentiality agreement.
But accordinhg to filings with the Missouri Department of the deal calls for Blue Cross of Kansa City to pay TriLinknearly $24.5 million and $4.5 millioj to each of the other TriSourcr owners. Blue Cross will make additional paymentas ofabout $2.1 million to TriLink and $400,000p to each of the other ownere during a 30-month period.
