Quality Watch Episode E15 Evaluating Prison Healthcare Quality

The No Surprises Act was passed by Congress in late 2020, and its consumer protections took effect in 2022. One of those protections is the independent dispute resolution process, which helps settle payment disagreements between insurers and providers. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the independent dispute resolution process, hearing about how insurers and providers participate, and how it keeps consumers safe from unexpected, and often devastating, medical bills.
