EDPMA and ACEP sent the following four joint letters to the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on provisions we would like included in the rules implanting the federal No Surprises Act. The No Surprises Act establishes a process for payment and dispute resolution for out-of-network emergency care (and some nonemergency care). Many important issues were left open for the Administration to address in the rulemaking phase. An Interim Final Rule implementing portions of the Act is expected soon.
