ACR Urges Agencies to Issue Final NSA IDR Operations Rule
Oct. 23, 2025
ACR®, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Society of Anesthesiologists ASA sent a communication Oct. 20, to the U.S. Departments of Treasury, Labor and Health and Human Services urging the release of a final rule related to the No Surprises Act (NSA) independent dispute resolution (IDR) process. The rule was first proposed two years ago but was never finalized.
The NSA, enacted in 2020, successfully protects patients from surprise medical bills, but issues endure at the federal rulemaking level pertaining to the IDR process.
ACR asserts release of the final rule will improve payer communication with providers and streamline the IDR process.
For additional information, contact Ashley Walton, ACR Government Affairs Director.
