POLITICAL PULSE: Legislature Returns This Thursday; Constitutional Question May Go to the Law Court
The session-long tension between Governor LePage and the legislative leadership will continue to the very end of the First Regular Session as the two branches of government disagree on the timing of the Governor's opportunity to act upon bills enacted by the legislature and sent to him for signature. The outcome of some 70 bills depends on whether Executive branch's or Legislative branch's interpretation of the Maine Constitution is correct, an interpretation that may have to be made by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
The latest controversy arising out of Maine's divided government came to light on or about July 10th when the Legislature's Office of the Revisor of Statutes began "chaptering" or putting in a format to become law without the Governor's signature, some 19 bills held by the Governor's Office beyond the 10 days he had to act upon them. The Governor's legal counsel issued an opinion that the Governor was entitled to hold on to the bills because the Legislature had finally adjourned. Attorney General Janet Mills responded to a bipartisan inquiry from the Senate that the bills had become law because the Legislature had not finally adjourned. Final adjournment of a legislative session traditionally is known as "adjournment sine die," or adjournment with no specified date of return. When the Legislature left Augusta on June 30th, leaders planned to return on July 16th to finish their business, including further vetoes anticipated from Governor LePage. The Governor continues to hold another 50 or so bills. Today, he announced that he has not decided whether to ask for an opinion from the Law Court this week or wait until January. The Legislature also could request an opinion.
Several bills of interest to MMA appear to be caught up in the controversy. Among those being "chaptered" and becoming law are LDs 1307 (diversion alert), 1145 (involuntary commitment), 1013 (shackling pregnant prisoners), 1108 (protect children from e-cigarette vapor), 1391 (treatment of forensic patients), and 91 (prescribing by dental hygienists). Among the bills that may be held by the Governor are LDs 140 (access to naloxone), 787 (adult day care/respite care), 831 (targeted prevention services), 905 (Fund for a Healthy Maine study), and 1350 (reimbursement of direct care workers).
In the coming weeks MMA advocacy staff will prepare a summary of all the legislative action impacting physician practices and will make it available to all MMA members.
A special thank you is due to the many physicians who joined staff in the weekly conference calls of the Legislative Committee and to those who came to the State House to serve as Doctor of the Day. Also a shout out to those MMA members who testified on the many bills impacting on the practice of medicine. The Association ultimately reviewed and monitored more than two hundred of the approximately 1750 bills printed.

Medicare to Pay for Counseling on End-of-Life Care, Effective January 1, 2016
On Wednesday, July 8th, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced plans to pay physicians to counsel patients about end-of-life care, effective January 1, 2016. The decision was announced by Patrick Conway, Medicare's chief medical officer who stated, "As a practicing physician, and a son, and someone who has dealt with this in his own family, I would say these are discussions . . . that are critical to high-quality care. I would want any American who wanted to have this conversation with their clinician to have the opportunity to do so."
Medicare will use the term "advanced care planning" for the new benefit aimed to discern the type of treatment patients want in their last days, with options ranging from care that's more focused on comfort than extending life to all-out medical efforts to resuscitate a dying patient.
Last week's announcement did not elicit accusations of "death panels" that arose when a similar provision was included in the Affordable Care Act. Ultimately, that provision was removed from the ACA.
This provision is part of the proposed 2016 physician payment rule that is set to be published in the Federal Register this Wednesday, July 15th with comments due on September 8th and anticipated publication of a final rule on November 1st.
This rule institutes the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), the new physician payment system to replace the SGR enacted through the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).

Workers' Comp Proposes Medical Fee Schedule Changes
On July 9th the MMA staff submitted
comments on the Maine Workers’ Compensation Board’s proposed rule changes
relating to the medical fee schedule. Among the changes the Association
supports are clarifications of the rules regarding patient authorizations (they
are not required) and records (they are to be sent with each bill and
paid for by the insurer/employer). The MMA also supports the change from a
reimbursement formula to a fee schedule for durable medical equipment. We asked
for clarification of references to such items as post-surgical care, which has
no definition or time frame, whether “any visit” includes diagnostic testing,
and whether a diagnostic code reference will be considered a sufficient
“description of the injury” on requests for payment for services. The proposed
rules also refer to ICD codes without any discussion about how the change from
ICD-9 to ICD-10 will be handled by the agency.
Finally, the proposed rules have
two fee reduction sections which the MMA opposes. The fee for the first page of
copies is reduced from $10 to $5, although the per-page amount is increased
from $0.35 to $0.45. More significantly, the facility base rates for ambulatory
surgical units are proposed to be reduced over three years from the current
$81.32 to $78.53. In comparison, the rates for acute care hospitals will rise
from $108.42 to $143.59 and the rates for critical access hospitals will rise
from $132.53 to $166.50 during that same time frame. The MMA voiced its strong
objection to these changes, particularly since our members are prevented by
contract from revealing what they are paid by commercial insurers and the
Workers’ Compensation Board does not appear to have asked the insurers for that
information before relying on demonstrably poor quality data upon which their
consultant based its recommendations. We will continue to monitor and report on
these proposed changes. [return to top]

How Physicians are Helping Rethink EHRs
Physician involvement in a special group of health IT leaders could help solve the electronic health record (EHR) system problem.
With its recent involvement in the Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technology (SMART) Platforms project, the AMA is embedding the voice of physicians in efforts to make EHRs work better for physicians and patients. A key component of the SMART project is the development of an infrastructure that allows for free, open development of plug-and-play apps. Such apps are intended to increase cost-effective interoperability between health technology, including EHRs. Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, member of the AMA Board of Trustees, will lend the physician voice to project.
The AMA continues to advocate for better EHRs and views the SMART project as a vital component in improving physicians’ satisfaction with the use of health information technology in patient care.

President Appoints Acting CMS Head Slavitt to be Administrator

Court to Weigh Physicians’ Right to Payments, Recourse
Should physicians be left holding the bag when a private insurer retroactively denies a medical claim or recoups a payment? A federal appeals court is considering a case that could determine whether medical providers have recourse in such situations to ensure that their practices remain financially stable so they can continue caring for their patients.
At issue in Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association v. Independence Hospital Indemnity Plan, Inc., is the payer retroactively denying benefits or taking back payments without explaining why the action was taken or how the medical provider can appeal the decision.
“The decades-long dispute continues between medical providers and the … third-party payers … of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)-regulated health plans over whether providers should be paid for their services, and how providers can assert their right to receive payment,” the Litigation Center of the AMA and State Medical Societies and the Illinois State Medical Society said in an amicus brief recently filed with the court.
“Unsurprisingly, the position Independence Hospital Indemnity Plan takes would result in … medical professionals performing necessary medical services and then being left ‘holding the bag,’” the brief states.

NCOIL to Consider Model Bills on Provider Directories, Telemedicine
State legislators who are responsible for insurance legislation will consider AMA model bills on provider directories and telemedicine.
The National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) will consider:
- Model Act to Ensure Meaningful Access to Accurate Provider Directories. Sponsored by Arkansas Rep. Deborah Ferguson, this model would require insurance department approval of insurance company provider directories, as well as of annual updates. It also would identify various contact and other information that must be included in a directory, including whether physicians are accepting new patients and set rules for publishing and updating directories. Finally, it would lay out rules for enforcement and allow for private rights of action.
- Model Telemedicine Reimbursement Act. Sponsored by Rhode Island Rep. Brian Kennedy, this model would require coverage for telemedicine services that would be on par with coverage for in-person treatments. It also would, among other things, prohibit insurers from excluding coverage for a service solely because it is provided through telemedicine.
- Model Telemedicine Licensure Act. Also sponsored by Rep. Kennedy, this model would require physicians treating patients to be licensed in the state in which the patient receives care, as well as to be regulated by that state’s board of medicine.
For more information about the accurate provider directory bill, email Emily Carroll or Daniel Blaney-Koen of the AMA. For more on the telemedicine model bills, email Kristin Schleiter of the AMA.
