Arbitration under the No Surprises Act is decided on the evidence package, not on the argument. The party with the better-sourced market position usually prevails, and a number the other side cannot reproduce is worth very little in front of an arbitrator.
We build the market-rate case to NSA/IDR standards, model the counterparty’s own cost structure from the data they submit, and prepare testimony on comparable rates in the same market.
We will also tell you when the position does not hold. Knowing that before a final-offer submission is worth considerably more than discovering it afterwards.
Who asks for this
A hospital or a group already in, or about to enter, an independent dispute resolution under the No Surprises Act, or a stipend dispute that has reached the point where each side is about to hire its own expert. Two experts with two methods is how these arguments stall.
The engagement is one evidence package both parties can check. We will tell you when the position will not hold, before a final offer is submitted rather than after an arbitrator says the same thing.
What you leave with
A market-rate case built to NSA/IDR standards, the counterparty’s cost structure modelled from the data they actually submitted, and testimony on comparable rates in the same market. The workings travel with the conclusion, because a number the other side cannot reproduce is worth very little in the room.
Where the incumbent arrangement is already at market, the useful outcome is to stay there. Arbitration support is not a search for a replacement group.
