Surprise Medical Billing Guidance Includes Final Regulations, FAQ Guidance, and More | Practical Law
The Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Treasury (collectively, Departments) have issued final regulations to further implement the surprise medical billing requirements of the No Surprises Act (NSA) (which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA-21)). The Departments also issued related FAQs and updated model notices. Earlier in August, HHS issued Q&A guidance addressing the federal independent dispute resolution (IDR) process for payment determination disputes under the NSA.
