A legislative body for U.S. doctors handled concerns about narrow health plan networks quickly on Sunday. Members of the American Medical Association House of Delegates addressed the network issue by passing Resolution 119, a measure that reaffirms established AMA policy.
The AMA has already described the standards it thinks health insurers should follow when terminating relationships with the physicians in their provider networks, the group says.
“The AMA believes a physician should be afforded due process if the professional conduct of the physician is reviewed and as a result of the review the reputation, professional status, or livelihood of the physician may be negatively impacted,” the group says in a comment on one California contract termination court case.
