California Proposes Out-of-Network Billing Change

California's Department of Managed Health Care has proposed rules that would prevent physicians from billing patients for additional charges beyond the costs of in-network care covered by insurance. Typically, billing disputes arise when patients go to in-network hospitals or emergency rooms for treatment but are inadvertently treated by an out-of-network physician who has not accepted the HMO's negotiated price. Physicians, in a process called balanced billing, can then directly bill the patient for the difference between the two fees.
