On February 23, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas invalidated pieces of the regulations related to the No Surprises Act (NSA) federal independent dispute resolution (IDR) process in a lawsuit brought by the Texas Medical Association. The Texas Medical Association argued that parts of the IDR-related regulations were inconsistent with the NSA, and the court agreed. A similar lawsuit that also challenges the IDR process by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Hospital Association (AHA) is currently being considered in the District of Columbia.
