Synthesize the Effect NSA Healthcare Reform Has on Stakeholders
Introduction
The United States Congress enacted the “No Surprise Act” (NSA) of 2022 to address the persistently high expenses associated with healthcare. Lieneck et al. (2023) indicate that the law became effective starting 1 January 2022 and has since protected the diverse stakeholders affected by the unexpected healthcare costs arising from the out-of-network healthcare professionals (OON). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2021) also recognizes that the bill’s formulation was timely following the increasing adjustment of the medical bills after patients received healthcare assistance from diverse parties, including air ambulance care or the OONs practitioners. Concerns emerge from the inconsistency in the OON claims since they fail to adhere to the allowed amounts of third-party payers, demanding the patient settle these costs. Thus, this assessment explores the No Surprise Act’s impact on healthcare providers, patients, and payors.
