No Surprises Act Webinar: Protecting Out-of-Network Reimbursement
Click to Enlarge
The No Surprises Act changed the rules around certain surprise billing situations and created an Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process that providers, facilities, and health plans may use to determine payment rates for certain out-of-network charges.
MSSNY and member benefit partner Callagy Recovery are hosting “The No Surprises Act Explained: What Every New York Physician Needs to Know” on September 24, 2026, from 6:30–7:30 PM. This session is designed to give physicians and practice leaders a clear, practical understanding of what the law means for their practice.
The webinar will cover the purpose of the No Surprises Act, when it applies, how out-of-network billing is handled, and what the IDR process looks like from the provider perspective. Attendees will also learn how reimbursement disputes are addressed and what steps may help physicians recognize when they are being underpaid.
This is not intended to be a dense legal lecture. It is a physician-focused discussion for practices that need usable information about one of the most consequential federal laws affecting medical reimbursement today.
The program will feature Fernando J. Valencia, Chief Revenue Officer for Callagy Recovery, a nationally recognized educator and strategist on the No Surprises Act and federal IDR system. He will be joined by Thomas Lee, MD, MBA, Executive Vice President of MSSNY, a board-certified neurosurgeon and longtime physician advocate who helped lead the successful effort to enact New York’s surprise medical bill law.
