Cornyn: state can make HMOs disclose doctor fees. TEXPAC determines Perry 'unfriendly', signs on with Sanchez. Doctors endorse Sanchez in Dem primary, lash out at Perry and Hammond. Cornyn files lawsuit in prompt pay battle. No! No! No! Health plans, doctors go to battle over 'clean claims.' Spat between doctors, TLR [Texans for Lawsuit Reform] over 'clean claims' veto escalates. Insurers question legality of TDI [Texas Department of Insurance] prompt pay rules. Bloody Sunday; prompt pay bill veto stuns, angers Texas physicians. In a bind: binding arbitration not always preferable to lawsuits. A two-front war; prompt pay fight takes two tracks. Prompt pay déjà vu: interim study to keep physician payment issues on front burner. Health law 2001: an odyssey in promptness, privacy, and perseverance. Point of no return: restitution disappoints doctors, prompts aggressive insurers' reaction. Prompt pay: the sequel. |
