No Surprises Act - NSA Legal Notice for Health Plan Members (July 1, 2022)
The No Surprises Act (NSA) requires the posting of a notice explaining member rights regarding surprise medical billing when you see a provider or visit a healthcare facility that is not in our health plan network as it relates to Emergency Services or certain services at an In-Network Hospital or Ambulatory Surgical Center.
Access the complete notice here: Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills
The NSA contains a Transparency in Coverage Rule (TCR). The TCR requires self-funded groups and insurers to make two machine-readable files (MRFs) publicly available beginning July 1, 2022, including in-network allowed amount and out-of-network allowed amount, if applicable, based on threshold requirements. Effective July 1, 2022, Drake’s MRFs will be accessible here.
Fair Credit Reporting Act
When using a third party provider to conduct background checks Drake University must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
The FCRA is the federal law that governs the acquisition and use of most background information on applicants and employees. Although it is lawful for employers to obtain and use background information on applicants and employees, they must follow several important procedures when obtaining and using these materials. As defined by the FCRA, consumer reports prepared by a consumer reporting agency that bear on an applicant's or employee's credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living, when such information is used, or expected to be used, or collected in whole or in part for "employment purposes." Almost any communication of information concerning an applicant for employee from a consumer reporting agency to an employer would potentially be a consumer report. Common examples of consumer reports include Department of Motor Vehicle record checks, criminal background checks, and credit history checks, when this information is obtained from a consumer reporting agency.
