Thank you to Becker’s Spine Review for publishing this important perspective.
New York was a national leader when it enacted its No Surprises law, recognizing that patients should never be caught in the middle of payment disputes for care they cannot reasonably avoid. In this recent viewpoint, Dr. McHugh discusses why proposals to weaken the state’s Independent Dispute Resolution process could ultimately reduce access to specialized and emergency care for patients across the state.
The central issue, he notes, is not physician reimbursement, but preserving a fair, independent system that protects patients and supports the sustainability of critical medical services.
