Qi Gong: An ancient "soft" Chinese martial art form combining movement, mindful meditation, and focused breathing as a means of cultivating qi, or chi, throughout the body for perceived health benefits and spiritual insights. The slow gentle movements are thought to promote self-healing, strengthen the immune system, release tension and stimulate vitality. Tai Chi, which has more complex movements, originated from the practice of QiGong.  See also Tai Chi

Quantity Limitations: Designed to identify the excessive use of drugs that may be dangerous in large quantities and to highlight the potential need for a different type of treatment. The Quantity Limitations program sets quantity limits on a small number of medications. BCBSNC will cover the drug up to the designated quantity. If the prescribing doctor feels it is medically necessary to exceed the set limit, they must get prior approval from BCBSNC before the higher quantity can be covered.
