The American College of Surgeons (ACS) signed a letter to the House Committees on Ways and Means and Education and Labor as they consider policy solutions to the issue of surprise medical bills. The letter highlights the medical community’s commitment to working with Congress to develop an equitable legislative solution to protect patients from surprise medical bills, while also facilitating a process to quickly, efficiently, and fairly resolve physician and health plan billing disputes. The ACS remains actively engaged as Congress looks toward addressing surprise medical billing before the end of May.
