HB 1990 -- Anatomic Pathology Services

Sponsor:  Wilson (130)

This bill prohibits a licensed health care professional from
charging, billing, or soliciting payment for anatomic pathology
services, unless the services are rendered personally by the
licensed health care professional or under his or her direct
supervision.  No patient, insurer, third-party payor, hospital,
public health clinic, or nonprofit health clinic will be required
to reimburse any licensed health care professional for charges or
claims submitted in violation of this provision.  Nothing will
prohibit the billing of a referring laboratory for services when
samples must be sent to another specialist.

The state licensing board having jurisdiction over the licensed
health care professional who requests or provides these services
may revoke, suspend, or deny the license of anyone who violates
these provisions.
