The Remedy for Surprise Medical Bills May Lie in Stitching Up Federal Law
Kaiser Health News Sept. 10, 2018
"The simplest way to stop surprise bills would be through restrictions imposed by federal legislation that would apply to both state-regulated policies sold by insurers and employer-sponsored self-funded health plans, which are federally regulated.... 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."
