HR 3023

This bill, the Preventing Hospital Overbilling of Medicare Act, aims to reduce incorrect billing practices by hospitals regarding Medicare payments for services provided at off-campus outpatient departments. It does this by removing exceptions that allow hospitals to bill these departments as if they were on-campus, requiring separate health identifiers for these departments, and ensuring that claims are billed using those identifiers. The bill also seeks to standardize billing practices across insurers and health plans to prevent improper billing.
