Michigan urges the federal government to clarify that state surprise billing claims must go through state, not federal, dispute resolution.

Michigan passed a resolution urging the federal government to clarify that claims under state surprise billing laws must go through state, not federal, dispute resolution. The resolution highlights that Michigan has a well-established process for resolving such disputes, but providers have been submitting ineligible claims through the federal process. This has led to improper payment determinations and increased costs for insurers, potentially driving up insurance costs for consumers.
