Insurers skip arbitration 25% of the time, radiologist groups tell Congress in push to fix No Surprises Act

Insurers failed to participate in No Surprises Act arbitration 25% of the time and offered $1 or less in 8% of cases, per groups representing radiologists, anesthesiologists, and emergency physicians, who urge Congress to enforce the law.

• Nearly 40% of insurer offers were at or below the qualifying payment amount, including defaults, contributing to inflated final dispute outcomes.
• Physician groups are advocating for the No Surprises Act Enforcement Act to increase accountability and preserve the balanced independent dispute resolution framework.
