AMA's Cure for Claims Campaign

AMA Aims to Cure What Ails Claims Process:

AMA has begun the Cure for Claims campaign. An AMA board member William A. Dolan, M.D, said their goal in this campaign is to hold health insurance companies accountable for making claims processing more cost-effective and transparent, and to educate physicians so they are no longer at the mercy of a payment system that detracts from patient care.

In conjunction with this campaign the association has published its first report card on the insurance companies. The report card provides an in-depth look at the claims processing performance of Medicare and seven national commercial health insurers.
