Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal changes made by health care reform laws to the Medicare exception to the prohibition on certain physi- cian referrals for hospitals, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Patient Access to Higher Quality Health Care Act of 2022, would repeal changes made by the Affordable Care Act and other healthcare reform laws to the "in-office ancillary services" exception to the prohibition on certain physician referrals for hospitals. This exception allows physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have a financial interest, which was previously limited by the healthcare reform laws. The bill aims to restore the previous laws and remove these limitations, with the goal of providing patients with greater access to healthcare services through these referrals.
