No Surprises Act (2020) Editable Forms

The No Surprises Act is part of a legislative package passed in December 2020.  Its primary goal is to ensure patients understand the costs of their healthcare services ahead of time, thereby reducing the likelihood of being surprised by a massive bill from their provider.  While the law itself has been around for nearly a year, many of the rules implementing the law have only recently been finalized (and more are yet to come).  This means that there are some actions providers need to begin taking before January 1, 2022 (the effective date for the existing rules), and providers will need to stay alert for additional changes that will be coming in the following year.

For a full explanation of the No Surprises Act and specific details of new guidelines and how they may affect your practice, please refer to the following Brookings Institute article.
