Proposed Rule Intended to Smooth No Surprises Act Independent Dispute Resolution Operations

From Manatt

On October 27, the Departments of Health ad Human Services (HHS), Labor and the Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management ( the Departments) released a proposed rule to revamp certain aspects of the No Surprises Act's (NSA) independent dispute resolution (IDR) process for out-of-network provider reimbursement.  The Departments' proposal aims to smooth policy and operational road bumps to render more timely IDR determinations and payments, in response to stakeholder concerns.
