Bill > SB1099

This bill enacts a new section in Missouri state law to regulate the billing and payment for anatomic pathology services. The key provisions are: 1) Health care professionals cannot directly or indirectly charge patients for anatomic pathology services unless they personally provided or directly supervised the services; 2) Patients, insurers, and other payers cannot be required to reimburse health care professionals for charges that violate this law; 3) The law does not prohibit a referring laboratory from billing for technical or professional components of anatomic pathology services they provided; and 4) State licensing boards can revoke, suspend, or deny the renewal of a health care professional's license for violating this law.
