Interim Final Rule Aims to Protect Healthcare Consumers from Surprise Billing

1. Banning surprise billing for emergency services. Emergency services, regardless of where they are provided, must be treated on an in-network basis without requirements for prior authorization.

2. Banning out-of-network charges for ancillary care at an in-network facility.

3. Banning high out-of-network cost-sharing for emergency and certain non-emergency services.

4. Banning other out-of-network charges without advance notice. Coding and billing responsibly is a priority for MCC’s RemitOneTM platform.
