On August 11, 2026, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an en banc decision in Texas Medical Association v. HHS vacating key portions of the July 2021 interim final rule regarding the No Surprises Act (NSA). The court ruled that insurers may not include "ghost rates" and must include bonus and incentive payments in their Qualifying Payment Amount (QPA) calculations for independent dispute resolution arbitrations. This decision reverses prior regulations that artificially suppressed QPAs, potentially increasing reimbursement rates for healthcare providers. The court directed federal departments to exercise enforcement discretion allowing existing QPAs until new rules are promulgated.
