The White House is renewing a push to end “surprise” medical bills — possibly as part of the next coronavirus rescue package — in a bid to deliver on protecting insured patients from sometimes staggering costs of emergency or out-of-network care
The prospect of the White House plan raising health care costs could yet douse enthusiasm on Capitol Hill. Though congressional scorekeepers haven't issued a formal estimate, a congressional aide said the Congressional Budget Office has advised through informal guidance that the plan would raise premiums by driving up provider rates.
Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate HELP Committee who developed surprise billing legislation with Chairman Lamar Alexander last year, signaled cost concerns could scuttle the latest White House bid. A straight-up ban on surprise billing falls in line with a solution the American Hospital Association, Washington’s biggest hospital lobbyhas pushed in the past. The trade group declined to discuss whether it would support including it in the next coronavirus relief package.
