Limits placed on medical charges

Risk & Insurance, May, 2005

The Supreme Court of Michigan has ruled that the state's No-Fault Insurance Act forbids health care providers from charging unreasonable fees. The state Supreme Court also left it up to lower courts to determine what is reasonable when a dispute arises. In the case of Advocacy Organization for Patients & Providers v.

Auto Club Insurance Association, the trial court ruled the insurers were entitled to review any medical charges and pay only those determined to be reasonable.
