CMS says surprise billing arbitrations can resume for older disputes

Arbitrators can resume resolving surprise billing disputes between providers and insurers involving cases in which care was delivered prior to Oct. 25, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service, reports Healthcare Dive. However, the arbitration process is still on hold for disputes regarding services delivered on or after that date, following a federal judge’s decision earlier this month faulting the dispute resolution process under the No Surprises Act.
