Iowa Hospitals Debate Specialist Payments and Law
Iowa hospital officials and the Iowa Hospital Association oppose alternative payment methods for medical specialists amid an attorney general ruling on hospital specialist relations. Hospital authorities seek assured services and revenue, while insurers favor hospital-billed expenses. Legal clarity or legislative change may resolve the dispute, with a Chicago conference a potential interim step. Also, Monnet resigns to pursue European unity, risking a setback to the Steel Community and the broader United States of Europe project.
