Such payment amount for the physician's professional services shall not be less than the amount that would otherwise be paid to such contracted physician or physician group or physician organization if the services are performed at a facility other than an outpatient surgical facility, as defined in section 19a-493b of the general statutes. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a contracted physician or physician group or physician organization from agreeing to a different payment methodology for colonoscopy or endoscopic services. | |
