ACR Advises Changes to Washington State PAD Report
ACR urged the WA State Health Technology Clinical Committee to not act on the draft report that would limit coverage of endovascular procedures for PAD.
Read more Ashutosh Rao, MD, a practicing radiologist in Atlanta, was invited to discuss issues related to implementation of the No Surprises Act (NSA) at a roundtable held by the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP). Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Bill Cassidy (R-La.), hosted the May 17 roundtable, as well as other members of the committee, to gather information about the legislation’s successes and failures since its passage in 2020 to protect patients from surprise medical bills. The physician community, including ACR, has previously vocalized concerns about implementation of the act, including the problematic independent dispute resolution (IDR) process, barriers to batching claims and the 600% increased fees required to file for arbitration. Dr. Rao highlighted many of these issues and the specific impact on his medium-sized practice. |
