The [DOL] could ... issue a ruling that clarifies that states can regulate provider payment, or require self-funded plans to participate in state dispute-resolution programs.... There are other possibilities for addressing surprise bills at the state level... While states can't regulate self-funded health plans, they do regulate doctors and hospitals and other providers."
