Physician Experience Highlights Unintended Consequences of California’s Surprise Billing Laws Over a period of nine days, 855 physician practices representing thousands of physicians responded to the survey.

These unintended consequences totally shift the market leverage to already powerful insurance companies at the expense of patients. November 5, 2019 CMA, Survey 0 0 Comment Read More »
