ForwardPart 1: The Federal No Surprises Act
Pricing
ISMS members: Free
Non-ISMS members: $75.00
Course Description
This two-part series covers the basics of the new federal No Surprises Act that protects patients from “surprise bills” resulting from care provided by out-of-network physicians at in-network facilities. Parts of the law are already in effect, and some of the provisions overlap with an existing Illinois law that provides similar patient protections.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- An overview of physician responsibilities and rights under the federal No Surprises Act
- An update on recent changes to Illinois law that were made to more closely mirror the scope of the NSA
- A discussion of how the federal and state laws and regulations might work together with respect to implementation and enforcement
Target Audience
ISMS members and their staffs
