In late 2020, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury released the Transparency in Coverage Final Rules (TIC) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) signed into law. These two initiatives provide new consumer protections under the No Surprises Act, as described below, and include extensive transparency reforms intended to help consumers make informed decisions about their health care.
The transparency provisions of the CAA and TIC are described in the downloadable pdf below, with FAQs to help explain how these changes will affect you, your providers, and your health plan coverage.
