The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released new FAQs providing guidance on the No Surprises Act, including requirements related to disclosures and the qualified payment amount.
CMS has also rolled out new functionality with its dispute portal that allows initiating parties to upload supporting documents when they begin a dispute. This is being done to prevent delays in dispute processing.
