2022 Surprise Billing Requirements | February 2022-Recorded Webinar

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The ASG sponsored webinar discussed new surprise billing regulations, specifically focusing on the No Surprises Act. The act aims to protect patients from surprise or balance billing when they receive care from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities. The webinar provided information on the requirements of ambulatory endoscopy centers under the regulations, including balanced billing protection disclosures, notice and consent for out-of-network care, and good faith estimates for self-pay or uninsured patients. The presentation also mentioned that the regulations apply to individuals enrolled in group health plans or individual health insurance coverage, and do not apply to beneficiaries or enrollees in federal programs such as Medicare or Medicaid. The webinar included a presentation from representatives of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who provided further details on the requirements and answered questions from participants. The webinar addressed topics such as providing good faith estimates, disclosing patient protections against balance billing, and requirements for air ambulance services. The webinar provided resources, including model forms and fact sheets, for providers to comply with the regulations. The recording of the webinar will be made available for further review and reference.
