Here are three things ASC leaders should know: 

1. The bill seeks to enforce the No Surprises Act by increasing penalties for non-compliance of statutory payment deadlines, providing parity between penalties imposed against parties that are non-compliant with statutory patient protection provisions and increasing the transparency of reporting requirements.

2. The bill is sponsored by House Reps. Greg Murphy, MD; Raul Ruiz, MD; John Joyce, MD; Kim Schrier, MD; and Jimmy Panetta.

3. A recent report from CMS detailed the most common complaints related to No Surprises Act and ACA compliance. These complaints include surprise billing for both emergency and non-emergency services by providers, payment noncompliance by payers and late payments after independent dispute resolution determination.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
