Surprise billing continues to be a priority for Congress in Washington, DC. In this CAPcast, Dr. David Gang and Dr. Matthew Foster--two leaders with the CAP’s Federal and State Affairs Committee--discuss their recent trips to Capitol Hill to meet with their legislators on surprise billing. Also interviewed is Michael Hurlbut, CAP Assistant Director, Legislation & Political Action, who will provide a recap of the legislative process to fix surprise billing and where it may go in 2020.
