On January 31, 2023, EDPMA filed an amicus brief in support of the Texas Medical Assocation (TMA) to ensure the fair and equitable implementation of the No Surprises Act as intended. The TMA’s third lawsuit filed against the federal government asserts that the methodology to calculate the Qualified Payment Amount (QPA) is not only flawed but favors commercial health plan insurers and violates the Congressional intent of the No Surprises Act. TMA’s claims align with EDPMA’s members’ experiences. Read the amicus brief here and press release here.
