OVERVIEW

No Surprises Act Policy (2 CEU) - South Carolina Chiropractic Association is organized by Best Practices Academy.

Description:
The "No Surprises Act" requires that patient cost-sharing, such as copayments, co-insurance, or a deductible cannot be higher than if such services were provided by an in-network provider, and any cost-sharing obligation must be based on in-network provider rates. This act prohibits out-of-network charges for items or services provided by an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility, unless providers and facilities provide patients with a plain-language consumer notice explaining that patient consent is required to receive care on an out-of-network basis before that provider can bill the patient more than in-network cost-sharing rates. This Act also addresses providing a Good Faith Estimate through notice and consent to patients considered uninsured or self-pay.

This dynamic and highly interactive educational experience is designed to provide the practicing chiropractic physician with an approach to comply with the No Surprises Act through two video training modules and office forms to implement appropriate practice procedures. The course will allow the practice to provide uninsured/self-pay patients with a good faith estimate and understand the notification and consent requirements of 45 CFR 149.610(b)(1)(iii).
