Introduction
Surprise billing describes a situation when an insured patient unknowingly receives care from an out-of-network provider and then is presented with a bill for services and payment obligation beyond what the patient’s insurer will cover. Surprise medical bills can arise in an emergency when the patient has no ability to select the facility or provider rendering services. Surprise bills can also arise when a patient receives planned care, such as when a patient receives care at an in-network facility but later finds out that a provider who treated the patient is out-of-network. This most often happens with providers with whom the patient does not interact prior to the service, such as pathologists and radiologists.
Hogeboom Looks Back on 46 Years Helping Shape California Insurance Landscape
Robert W. Hogeboom has quietly been in the background of making and forming insurance laws and regulations for decades – and he’s seen a lot change in California’s insurance landscape in all of that time.
During his 46-year-long legal career, he was on the frontlines of hammering out issues and regulations with the California Department of Insurance.
Hogeboom devoted his practice to insurance regulatory, legislative and administrative matters before the CDI. He handled more than 50 hearings involving CDI enforcement actions against insurers and producers, including rate hearings, market conduct actions and disciplinary proceedings.
