Congress continues to focus on the issue of surprise billing with several bipartisan bills and proposals put forth by key members of Congress. Last week, House Energy & Commerce leaders Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Greg Walden (R-OR) released draft legislation, on which CHA submitted comments earlier this week.
CHA will continue to work with members of the California congressional delegation to oppose a default rate and support private negotiations between payers and providers while protecting patients.
