Our Mission

NCRA advocates for uncompensated medical care, legislation and solutions on how to help providers fight for medically appropriate care (for their patients) in light of the significant burden on the nation’s emergency safety net. NCRA’s objective is to train providers how to fight third party payors and to advocate for patient and provider rights. Through a variety of innovative training programs, technology and products, we deliver up-to-date training and certification programs on State and Federal regulatory issues that help providers redress uncompensated medical care and unfair payment practices.

Legislative Affairs

The healthcare delivery system is in our hands only for a season.

-Ed Norwood

ERN/NCRA/TRAF provides representation and advocacy in the legislative and regulatory arenas.

By offering a unique opportunity to create change in administrative laws that prevent improper denials and ensure timely reimbursement, we fight for legislative and regulatory legal victories at the state and federal level.

We challenge healthcare legislation, appear at public comment hearings, provide legislative updates and write interpretive opinions on behalf of provider members with respect to unfair trend analysis and payor practices, along with citations of legal authority in support of your appeal position.
