We engage directly with Congress to advance legislation that protects provider reimbursement rights, strengthens the No Surprises Act’s enforcement framework, and ensures that the Independent Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) process functions as intended.

We equip our members with the policy intelligence, advocacy tools, and regulatory analysis they need to understand how federal decisions affect their practices and their patients.

We bring together providers across specialties, practice types, and geography to present a unified, cross-sector voice. Our strength lies in our breadth: from anesthesiologists to emergency physicians, from independent neurosurgical practices to physician assistants and nurse practitioners.

We monitor and actively engage in agency rulemaking at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Departments of Labor and Treasury, submitting formal comments as these agencies implement and revise regulations under the No Surprises Act (NSA), the rules governing Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) operations, and the methodology for calculating the Qualifying Payment Amount (QPA).
