Chair Hancock clashes with TMA as he rolls out his bill aimed at surprise billing
TMA argues the root of the problem is “the networks that the insurance companies have set up which are inadequate”
Doctors
and patients squared off before the Texas Senate Business and Commerce Committee
on Thursday over the issue of "surprise billing."
The
Texas
Association of Health Plans supports the bill by Chairman Kelly Hancock
but the group stayed in the background during the hearing as Hancock confronted
the Texas
Medical Association in an often testy exchange.
