Interesting. Facility fees are being rejected by insurance companies or in the worst case passed along to the consumer which a lot of people are angry about.

Interesting. Facility fees are being rejected by insurance companies or in the worst case passed along to the consumer which a lot of people are angry about. It might be worth writing to the CMS about or even the President. The Executive has expressed interest in more competition in the market. However, insurance companies should also be interested in paying a higher reimbursement rate minus the facility fee too since they'd have to pay that in the outpatient hospital scheme too (if they don't balk that is...)
