After issuing a formal letter, the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons has filed an amicus brief that challenges federal government implementation of the No Surprises Act, according to a press release.
The amicus brief from the AAOS supports the lawsuit led by the AMA and the American Hospital Association that challenges the No Surprises Act, which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2022.
“It quite literally took an act of Congress and years of tireless advocacy to determine a fair solution to this problem that has been plaguing patients for years, only to have those efforts squandered by these reckless regulations,” AAOS President Daniel K. Guy, MD, FAAOS, said in the release. “In turning to legal action, we remain committed to protecting patients from the heavy-hand of insurers and ensuring that the imbalance of power in good faith negotiations over payment disputes is not further exacerbated,” he added.
