The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a new FAQ document providing additional information about the uninsured and self-pay good faith estimate (GFE) requirements. These new policies went into effect on Jan. 1, 2022, and were implemented under the No Surprises Act.

MGMA is encouraged by the continued engagement from CMS to provide necessary clarifications; however, we are continuing to advocate for additional guidance and education to ensure all practices have the information necessary to comply with the requirements.
