IN RE: | HB1570 by Thompson (Relating to reimbursement under preferred provider benefit plans for services provided by licensed podiatrists.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Insurance Code to require preferred providor plans to utilize the same methodology to calculate the payment or reimbursement by contract to a podiatrist as the methodology to calculate the payment or reimbursement by contract to a physician. The Texas Department of Insurance indicates that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed within existing agency resources.
