Nation’s Frontline Physicians Denounce Regulators’ Implementation of Key Rule in No Surprises Act
American Society of Anesthesiologists, American Assoc. of Neurological Surgeons, American College of Radiology, and AAOSOrganizations representing over 140,000 physicians on the front lines of health care delivery strongly oppose the Biden administration’s giveaway to insurance companies in its rule to define the independent dispute resolution (IDR) process established in the No Surprises Act. The rule, released today, is clearly not in line with congressional intent and will lead to drastic cuts to payments for in-network and out-of-network (OON) physicians alike, jeopardizing access for millions of American patients.
