American Hospital Association
Commenting on the rate-setting provision of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s legislative proposal to address surprise medical bills, the AHA, America’s Essential Hospitals, Association of American Medical Colleges, Catholic Health Association of the United States, Children’s Hospital Association, and Federation of American Hospitals said they oppose establishing a benchmark payment to resolve out-of-network payment disputes between providers and insurers and asked that the committee instead consider an independent dispute resolution process.
