Lovely friends in CT, my healthcare provider colleagues and I need 3 minutes of your time, please.
If you have ever wondered why I don't accept some major health Insurances this is why...
I know several providers that have lost thousands of dollars due to unregulated insurance clawback practices for services they rendered! And unfortunately this is not an uncommon practice for insurance.
Public testimony for SB 341 and HB 5377 is Tuesday 3/3 9a and we need written testimony no later than Monday afternoon. These bills would regulate insurance “clawbacks.”
The good in these bills:
✅ Limits most clawbacks to 12 months
✅ Creates clearer, fairer appeals processes
✅ Still allows take-backs for fraud or duplicate payments
The problem:
⚠️ Insurance companies can still claw back payments due to their own eligibility mistakes
⚠️ Vague rules could allow endless audits of honest providers
🗣️ In the comments, There is a template to copy and paste. Please submit quick written testimony to protect providers and patient access to care:
