EDPMA and ACEP sent a 5/5/21 EDPMA/ACEP Joint Letter to Moda Health regarding its new policy for emergency department claims that violates PLP.

On February 22, 2021, EDPMA urged United Healthcare (UHC), not to implement its auto-downcoding policy for 99285 because it violates the prudent layperson standard. A week later, UHC announced that the implementation date for that policy has been delayed.
