📈 We were told time and again by @UHC, @AnthemBCBS, @USCBO, @LorenAdler, @SchaefferCenter, and others that #insurance premiums would drop with the passage of the #NoSurprisesAct.
We were always suspicious of those claims. And now... 😡

We think this new #policy brief from @NYHPA gets 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥!
#NY's #healthinsurance companies are the biggest players in the market. They are the ones primarily driving up #costs.
Yet, they point their finger at everyone and everything else. 🤯

#NY ALERT: Great article in @CrainsNewYork from @mayakauf and @beth_treffeisen about @UHC's latest scheme to hurt state #employees and #physicians by unlawfully moving its #arbitration venue from #NewYork to federal.

#BAFERDLife in the ED. Med education, Health policy, sports, Florida man. Views my own. “Healthcare” should be two words & run by people who see patients.
Insurers are already weaponizing the #NoSurprisesAct - narrowing networks & refusing coverage. What value are patients getting from insurers? They pay premiums, outrageous deductibles & get denied coverage? The IDR as written HARMS patients, preventing access to ER & medical care
The No Surprises Act is now in full effect! That means surprise medical bills are banned & patients can get the care they need without fearing an unexpected, unaffordable bill for out-of-network care. #NoSurpriseBills
@PattyMurray Why did .@HHSGov .@USDOL .@USTreasury .@CMSGov side with Health insurers to implement the #NoSurprisesAct? #FixtheIDR.
What .@HHSGov .@USDOL .@USTreasury .@CMSGov isn’t telling patients is that the rules & regs on IDR will destroy patient access to medical & emergency care. In the midst of a pandemic, @POTUS Admin is rewarding Insurers with more $$ & power on the backs of struggling Americans.
Under the #NoSurprisesAct, starting Jan 1 this year, there are new consumer rights to protect both the insured & uninsured from surprise medical bills. Learn more about your protections and options to resolve unexpected bills:

Why is a fraudulent study being used as evidence to establish rules and regs for the #NoSurprisesAct?

Spin on this is ludicrous @NPR
Insurers recording record profits. Billions annually. @SecBecerra says look the other way & blame docs for HC costs!
Look around. Only 32% of docs independent in 2018 and even less today. Doctors are closing their doors!

Why did .@SecBecerra .@SecYellen @SecMartyWalsh at .@HHSGov .@USDOL .@USTreasury take it upon themselves to re-write #Benchmarking into the #NoSurprisesAct, trampling on Congressional intent, a previously fair solution, & patient access to quality medical care?
The flawed implementation of the No Surprises Act is a gift to the insurance industry, and they're already unwrapping it.
BCBS NC is strong-arming physicians ahead of the law's rollout and we stand opposed. We see first-hand how insurers game the system.

If Insurers are allowed to continue to bend and manipulate the law then it's #NoSurprise they will never put #PatientsOverProfits. https://t.co/cm9Y10UE3K

🚨���� ATTENTION 🚨🚨 As many physicians and patient advocates predicted, Health Insurers are already weaponizing the #NoSurprisesAct - catastrophically lowering reimbursement rates and threatening termination of contracts if groups don't comply.
