Here are some memories from this fun event last year:

Has a Health Plan Kicked You Out of its Network?

TMA Wants to Know About It as Well as Your IDR Experience
Health insurance plans issued network termination letters to several practices and physicians, with hospital-based physicians ostensibly having been the primary targets of these actions. Some members received follow-up letters from the health plans offering to reinstate them into the networks only if they agreed to deep cuts in reimbursement for their services.

If this is happening to you, the TMA advocacy division would like to receive a copy of the termination letter. TMA plans to share the letters with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Please submit letters and feedback to Tabitha Lara, TMA’s Director of Insurance Affairs, by email at tabitha.lara@tnmed.org.
