Providers, Insurers Face All-or-Nothing Arbitration
ThinkAdvisor
As described in this article from ThinkAdvisor, Waller attorneys have completed a detailed analysis of the No Surprises Act designed too address the issue of balance billing patients.
The article highlights one of the issues in the Act, "that providers that are clashing with health insurers will face a baseball-style, all-or-nothing form of arbitration: independent dispute resolution will have to approve one party’s proposal as is, without changing the proposal in an effort to 'split the difference.'”
The new law aims to create a framework for resolving billing disputes. It will require plans to have up-to-date information about whether providers are in-network and give patients estimates of what care will cost.
