An Act to reduce inequities in access to medical procedures
This bill prohibits health insurance carriers from lowering reimbursement rates for doctors' evaluation/management or procedural services solely because the provider also billed other covered services (like minor surgery) on the same day. It directly affects medical providers and insurers by voiding any contract terms allowing such payment reductions. The key provision ensures providers aren't penalized financially for delivering multiple covered services during a single patient visit, promoting fair payment for comprehensive care.
