The No Surprises Act added section 2799A-7 of the PHS Act, which contains the patient protections regarding choice of health care professional from section 2719A of the PHS Act. The patient protections under the No Surprises Act apply generally to all group health plans and health insurance coverage, including grandfathered health plans. The Department believes that only plans that relinquish their grandfathered status in 2021 and plans that are still grandfathered in 2022 will become subject to this notice requirement for the first time and incur the one-time costs to prepare the notice. Adjustments to the burden estimates also result from updated estimates on the number of plans and policyholders affected by the regulations, an increase in the share of notices assumed to be transmitted electronically, and increases in wage rates. These updated data inputs increase the hour burden by 522 hours compared with the prior submission and reduce the cost burden by $802 compared with the prior submission.
