The #NoSurprisesAct was supposed to fix the problem. So why are disputes still going unpaid? ❓ Something isn't working, and it's putting pressure on physicians and patient access to care. It's time to fix it. 👇 Read more: votervoice.net/ZOTEC/News#/Bl… #AtoZPAC #NSA

The No Surprises Act’s IDR process exists for a reason. When insurers don’t like the outcome, the answer isn’t to circumvent federal patient protections through administrative policy. Anthem’s new “Facility Administrative Policy” — that took effect this year across 12 states — does exactly that. It threatens hospital payment cuts and network removal for conditions hospitals cannot possibly control. If Anthem wants to reform IDR, there are legitimate paths: cleaner coding standards, prompt good-faith responses to provider offers, and fair payment proposals. Weaponizing hospital contracts isn’t one of them. Worth a read from AHA’s Rick Pollack: healthcaredive.com/news/keep-care…

@ahahospitals CEO's latest op-ed, a clear warning: Anthem's new policy doesn't fix #healthcare, it shifts blame. Hospital can't control independent doc networks, yet face penalties that limit patient access. 🔗 healthcaredive.com/news/keep-care… @healthcaredive

In our latest Zotec Answers podcast, Anders Gilberg, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs at the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), and I discuss the major pain points today for many physician practices & the MGMA’s advocacy efforts to address those issues. MGMA represents ~15K medical groups and tens of thousands of physicians. Spanning over 20+ years in DC and nearly all of that with MGMA, Anders describes how he and the association are addressing issues of prior authorization reform & administrative burdens like downcoding in advocacy. My personal and sincere thanks to Anders for taking the time to provide his perspectives and thoughts, and special thanks to my Zotec Partners’ colleagues Jen Fox and Megan Applegarth for production and directing support. @ZotecPartners @ZP_PAC Have you listened to Zotec Answers - A Healthcare Podcast yet?
