APPENDIX 6
Independent Dispute Resolution and Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution Processes;
Vendor Management
Data Elements
The Departments of the Treasury, Labor and Health and Human Services (collectively, the
Departments) and the Office of Personnel Management have issued interim final rules
establishing an independent dispute resolution (IDR) process that out-of-network or
nonparticipating health care facilities and providers (including air ambulance providers) and
group health plans and health insurance issuers of group and individual coverage may utilize
following the end of an open negotiation period. This IDR process is available only for certain
services, such as out-of-network emergency services, certain out-of-network services at an innetwork facility where sufficient notice and consent is not provided, or air ambulance services.
This IDR process is also only available if a state All-Payer Model Agreement or specified state
law does not apply.
Additionally, HHS has issued interim final rules (45 CFR 149.620) that provide protections for
the uninsured by requiring the Secretary of HHS to establish a process (referred to as patientprovider dispute resolution) under which an uninsured (or self-pay) individual, with respect to
an item or service, who received, from a health care provider or health care facility a good faith
estimate of the expected charges for furnishing such item or service to such individual and who
after being furnished such item or service by such health care provider or health care facility is
billed by such health care provider or health care facility for such item or service for charges
that are substantially in excess of such estimate, may seek a determination from a selected
dispute resolution (SDR) entity for the charges to be paid by such individual to such health care
provider or health care facility.
As part of this process, HHS is responsible for the payment of the fee to the IDR Entity. The
table below identifies data elements that an IDR Entity will be required to provide to HHS so
that the IDR Entity can pay the required administrative fee.
Note that this PRA package is for HHS’ requirements at 45 CFR 149.620.
