Biden Administration to Appeal Surprise Billing Defeat

As reported earlier in our post on CMS halting “No Surprises Act” arbitration, a federal District Court vacated portions of the No Surprises Act federal regulations. Thereafter, CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) halted the arbitration process for resolving disputes regarding out-of-network surprise bills.

On October 20, 2023, HHS (Department of Health and Human Services), Treasury, and the US Office Personnel Management submitted a notice indicating their attempt to file a consolidated appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, challenging the August decision in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
