Tennessee: federal IDR for out-of-network disputes

Tennessee has no comprehensive state surprise billing law, so out-of-network payment disputes go to federal IDR. How we file for Tennessee provider groups.

No state program — federal IDR is the path

Tennessee has not enacted a comprehensive surprise-billing law with its own payment standard or arbitration program. For No Surprises Act services — emergency care, and out-of-network care delivered at in-network facilities — payment disputes go to the federal IDR process.

Simple routing, unforgiving deadlines. The federal process is the only track, which makes it straightforward to systematize — and makes missed windows the main reason Tennessee groups leave money behind.

What we do for Tennessee groups

  • Eligibility screening on every out-of-network remit
  • Open negotiation notices, federal initiation, IDR entity selection
  • Offer construction with written rationale on the permitted factors
  • Batching by payer and service code; post-award payment follow-up

We re-verify state law status each filing cycle.

Which process applies to your claims?

Send 90 days of out-of-network remits. We'll tell you claim by claim: federal IDR, state process, or not disputable — plus what comparable disputes have paid.
