The “final-offer” arbitration process represents a significant workflow change for providers and payers, who will each need to make an offer to an independent third party to resolve the surprise billing dispute.

Additionally, providers and payers may need to “upskill” their staff to handle new processes and possibly engage external vendors to support the management of arbitration and related administrative functions.
