The group is asking CMS to provide an appropriate timeline for layering new surprise billing requirements, which have created administrative burden for providers.
The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) is pushing HHS and CMS to give providers at least six months’ notice before enforcing any additional requirements for the No Surprises Act.
Several aspects of the surprise billing mandate went into effect on January 1 of this year, including federal protections against balance billing, uninsured and self-pay good faith estimate (GFE) requirements, continuity of care protections, and provider directory requirements. While the policies have been beneficial for patients, MGMA says the requirements have created administrative burden for providers as the interim final rules were published with minimal time before implementation.
