On Dec. 28, 2020, Congress passed the No Surprises Act as part of the year-end omnibus spending bill. The Act, which largely goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2022, protects consumers from surprise medical bills, including from out-of-network emergency treatment and for non-emergency services performed by out-of-network providers. While many details of the No Surprises Act will be forthcoming as federal agencies engage in the necessary rulemaking, WHA will host a webinar to address the provisions of the Act and the first set of implementing regulations as they apply to health care providers.
