NSA enacted
CIDRE advocates for fair, transparent, and balanced policies that protect the integrity of the processes meant to shield patients from surprise medical billing. We educate lawmakers, regulators, and stakeholders on the operational realities and public value of the IDR system.
Promoting clarity so IDR entities operate efficiently and impartially.
Defending the independence of dispute resolution from undue influence.
Maintaining fair balance between providers, payers, and patients.
Informing lawmakers on IDR operational realities and public value.
Certified IDR entities are foundational to the federal IDR process. CIDRE supports policies protecting their active role across eligibility, administration, and payment determinations.
Following the 5th Circuit’s 2025 ruling in Guardian Flight, CIDRE advocates for codifying legislative immunity for IDREs in statute to protect neutral arbitration.
