HHS publishes correction to Independent Dispute Resolution operations rule

HHS issued a technical correction to the Federal Independent Dispute Resolution Operations rule. The correction, published in the Federal Register, addresses minor administrative or typographical errors in the original rule text governing the No Surprises Act's arbitration process. These corrections do not change the substantive rights or responsibilities of providers, plans, or patients under the IDR system, but ensure the codified regulations accurately reflect the agency's intent. Billing teams should note the correction's publication date; the operational IDR deadlines and fee structures remain unchanged.
