2007 House Bill 4792

Impose price controls on health professionals treating car crash injuries

Introduced in the House

May 17, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Virgil Smith (D-7)

To impose government-established price caps on fees charged by health care facilities and professionals that treat and provide rehab for injuries sustained in vehicle crashes covered under the mandatory (and unlimited) personal injury protection provision of Michigan’s no fault insurance law. Under current law, health care providers are allowed and required to charge no more than their customary and reasonable amounts for these services. The bill would establish the same rates they are paid for workers compensation claims.

Referred to the Committee on Insurance
