Ambulatory-surgical centers and a major player in the hospital industry are challenging a state proposal that could affect payment disputes in the workers’ compensation insurance system.
The Florida Society of Ambulatory Surgical Centers and two affiliates of the HCA hospital chain filed challenges last week against the state Division of Workers’ Compensation. Also filing a challenge was Automated HealthCare Solutions, a firm that submits claims to insurers after doctors dispense medications to injured workers.
