This is an important step forward for protecting physicians' work.
Big win for physicians: The Illinois legislature has unanimously passed the ISMS-backed Transparency in Downcoding Act. It cleared the House by a vote of 111-0 Wednesday evening and now heads to the governor’s desk for consideration.

TY to our sponsors and committee members for advancing the downcoding bill! This is an important step toward protecting patients and ensuring fair reimbursement for physician care. We urge timely passage on the House floor. #twill @sharonchungIL @WilliamHauter @JeffKeicher
A House committee signed off Tuesday to ban health insurers from using artificial intelligence for a billing practice where a procedure or service is billed at a lower level than what was actually provided.

I had a great meeting with State Rep. Bill Hauter of Morton and other members of @ILSocietyAnes to discuss the importance of physician-led anesthesia care for our veterans and expanding access affordable care.
Grateful for their advocacy on behalf of patients and providers!

Former ISMS president Dr. Richard Anderson was interviewed by the New York Times about the state of prior authorization. He talked about ISMS' success on prior authorization reform in Illinois and the need for similar legislation at a national level.

Technology should assist health care decisions, not replace professional medical judgment.
I'm proud to cosponsor Senate Bill 3114, which puts important guardrails in place.
