As with any new legislation, the No Surprises Act has led to some confusion, particularly in the areas of implementation and ongoing impact. To help, CorroHealth has created a new monthly series specifically designed to clear the air, answer questions, and get you on the best path for success. Leading the series is CorroHealth’s resident subject matter expert, Barbara Johnson, BSN, RN – Senior Revenue Consultant, who will clarify payers’ increased role in the process, the status of impactful legislation, and the processes providers should follow to comply.

Next is a discussion about the legislative process for healthcare providers, concluding with focus areas for providers, including limitations on balance billing, dispute resolution processes, and an NSA workflow decision map.
