2) rules pertaining to emergency services and post-stabilization care at hospitals or freestanding emergency departments; and
3) obligations to provide good faith estimates for self-pay and uninsured patients. This presentation will also include a discussion of recent guidance since Jan. 1, 2022 by federal agencies on implementation of the NSA for healthcare providers, as well as operational challenges and strategies for meeting the compliance obligations of the NSA.
