Don't Let Insurance Companies Lowball You

Keywords: Prompt_Pay  Reimbursement  

Physicians, patients, and regulators around the country are increasingly up in arms over how health insurance companies set "usual, customary, and reasonable" (UCR) charges to determine payments for out-of-network services.

TMA is vigorously pursuing issues surrounding the determination of UCR charges. We want to help the Texas Department of Insurance, the Texas Legislature, and others decide how best to correct this problem. We need information from as many practicing physicians as possible.

Please share your stories illustrating the problems of low out-of-network payments. We will not share your personal information with anyone without your permission.
