Boost Your Surgical Practice’s Revenue with Mac Services LLC: Mastering the No Surprises Act

The No Surprises Act (NSA), effective January 1, 2022, was designed to protect patients from unexpected out-of-network medical bills, particularly in emergencies and non-emergency situations where out-of-network providers are involved. While the primary focus of the NSA is patient protection, surgical practices have found innovative ways to leverage the provisions of this law to enhance their revenue streams. Mac Services LLC, as experts in medical arbitration and collections, offers a suite of services to help surgical practices navigate and benefit from the NSA effectively.

Increased Utilization of Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR)

The NSA's IDR process allows out-of-network providers to challenge inadequate insurer payments. Mac Services LLC specializes in navigating this process, helping practices leverage IDR to secure higher payments. Our experts have a track record of success in contesting low reimbursements and achieving favorable outcomes for surgical practices. By utilizing our services, practices can increase their revenue without negatively impacting patients. For non-emergency surgeries, practices can utilize in-network facilities for their out-of-network providers to invoke NSA protections.  If the patient does not sign a waiver but voluntarily uses an out-of-network doctor at an in-network facility, the protections under the No Surprises Act (NSA) still apply. This means the doctor cannot balance bill the patient for more than the in-network cost-sharing amount, and if there is a payment dispute between the doctor and the insurer, the doctor can utilize the NSA’s Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) arbitration process to obtain a fair payment. In this situation, the patient is still protected from surprise bills, and the doctor retains the right to seek resolution through the IDR process to determine a fair reimbursement from the insurer.

Improved Patient Acquisition and Retention

Effective communication of NSA compliance can significantly boost patient acquisition and retention. Mac Services LLC helps practices market their commitment to transparent billing and patient protections under the NSA. By highlighting these guarantees, practices can build trust, attract more patients, and increase referrals. Our marketing strategies are designed to enhance your practice’s reputation and revenue base.
