Description:

Attention PSOH Members! Your advocacy is needed!Surprise Medical Bill/Balance Billing Legislation (HB 1862)would set a benchmark rate in statute for out-of-network providers. The bill would determine the payment rate and calculate reimbursement for providers based on average in-network rates. In simpler terms, out-of-network services would be reimbursed at in-network rates.We need you to call and/or email your Representative NOW and ask them to SUPPORT AMENDMENTS toHB 1862by voting Yes for the Kaufer amendment (#A3599), and the Rothman amendment (#A3601).These are critical amendments that health insurers are trying to kill.Take ActionWhile the bill deals with payment for out-of-network providers,this benchmark rate-setting will impact ALL future contract negotiations withinsurers trying to move in-network providers to this state-mandated rate, undermining a physician's right to negotiate a fair contract. Lawmakers need to hear from YOU RIGHT NOW on the negative impactHB 1862 will have on your practice and your ability to provide care to theirconstituents if these amendments are not adopted.The Pennsylvania Society of Oncology and Hematology represents more than 200 physicians and other health care professionals who carefor cancer patients.

Download and print out the card.The card includes information on how to access ASCO and NCI information tools. It also includes space on the back, where medical staff can include brief information about the patient's care in case the patient needs to be treated by a doctor who is unfamiliar with his or her diagnosis or treatment.For more information click here.Marilyn J.
