The Transparency in Coverage Rule requires that members be provided with benefit cost estimator tools (by Internet website or paper) that help members estimate their out-of-pocket costs and compare costs for covered network and out-of-network services. A similar cost comparison tool (including by telephone) for services from a network provider is required under the No Surprises Act. The Departments have deferred enforcement of the price comparison tool under the No Surprises Act until plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, to align with the Transparency in Coverage rule.
Please note: Federal guidance regarding the Transparency in Coverage Rule and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which includes the No Surprises Act, continues to be revised and updated; click here for our latest legislative and regulatory updates.

We recommend our clients and Plan Sponsors consult their legal counsel to ensure their plans are compliant with the applicable laws.
