Today, CMS is adding four new documents to the No Surprises Act (NSA) toolkit to help assisters and advocates who work with consumers faced with surprise medical bills. The new resources include:
- A Quick Start Guide to help advocates quickly find the resources they need for a consumer’s situation;
- The No Surprises Act at a Glance, which gives a high level overview of the NSA’s consumer protections;
- A resource outlining the Key Responsibilities for Health Care Providers and Facilities Under the No Surprises Act; and
- A resource outlining the Key Responsibilities for Group Health Plans and Health Insurance Issuers Under the No Surprises Act.
Altogether, the toolkit contains more than 20 individual resources and a PDF compilation of all the resources. It is posted at https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumer-advocate-toolkit.
