Subject: | Fee Schedule and Multiple Surgical Procedures |
Please join me in co-sponsoring legislation which I am planning to reintroduce that would require health care insurers to adequately compensate surgeons for multiple procedures performed during the same operation. Under this proposal, insurers would have to use the same payment policy utilized by Medicare. The bill requires insurers to disclose their fee schedules and the methodology upon which fees are based. The prior session's bill number and cosponsors are: SB 335 by TOMLINSON , ERICKSON , MENSCH , RAFFERTY , BOSCOLA , SOLOBAY and WASHINGTON |
Introduced as SB482
