'Balance billing' proposal clears house panel
Tampa Bay Business Journal
In an issue watched closely by doctors, hospitals and insurers, a House panel Tuesday, Jan. 19, approved a proposal aimed at protecting patients from surprise charges when they need emergency care.

That can occur, for example, when patients need emergency care and are treated by doctors who are not part of the networks of the patients' insurers.

The much-delayed shift from ICD-9 to ICD-10 diagnosis codes will take place on Thursday, Oct. 1. When clocks strike midnight, years of debate over whether the conversion will create a financial hardship on physicians — and in turn disrupt payments to clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups — will begin to be answered.
