The No Surprises Act: The $10,000 Billing Mistake

Is your Revenue Cycle ready for the "Baseball Arbitration" trap?

In this episode of the DjamgaMind USA Series, we simulate a crisis meeting between a Hospital CFO and a Compliance Officer regarding the No Surprises Act (NSA).

We decode the financial risks that are freezing cash flow across US health systems.

Key Intelligence Points:

  • The $400 Trigger: Why a $401 difference between your Estimate (GFE) and your Bill allows patients to stop payment.
  • The IDR Bottleneck: Why the "Independent Dispute Resolution" process is failing hospitals (Backlogs, $350 fees, and the QPA trap).
  • Civil Monetary Penalties: The reality of the $10,000 fine for every missed GFE violation.
  • Balance Billing: The absolute ban on billing patients for out-of-network providers (Anesthesia/Pathology) at in-network facilities.
