Subject: Good Faith Estimates for Creation of Advanced Explanation of Benefits
Dear Administrator Brooks-LaSure:
On behalf of our member physicians, hospitals, health systems and medical groups, the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) write to urge the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the Advanced Explanation of Benefits (AEOB) price transparency provisions under the No Surprises Act in a way that promotes price transparency for patients without delaying patient care or placing unnecessary administrative burdens on providers.
