House Bill 2256 is a new law that requires Texas health care facilities to disclose to their patients that facility-based physicians may be out-of-network. And it also sets up a mediation process as well.
The new law also places the burden on the facility-based physician as well. A facility-based physician who bills a patient covered by a PPO or HMO and does not have a contract with the patient's plan is required to send a notice to the patient regarding the mediation process that is available.
