See your group's 2025 IDR wins, payer by payer.
Search by group name, NPI or state. You get the disputes your group won in the federal No Surprises Act process in 2025, split by Anthem, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and other payers, and the quarters you were active. Then use the free ledger and the steps below to follow up on any award that was not paid on time.
Look up a group
The list has 6,612 provider groups that reported 100 or fewer staff and won at least one dispute in 2025 (1,235 of them against Anthem or Elevance). Searches run in your browser. There is no account, no form and no tracking on this page.
What the numbers mean
Counts, not dollars
Every number is a count of disputes. The public file does not show award amounts or whether a payer paid. A win here is not proof of non-payment.How we counted
One dispute is counted once, even if it has many line items. A win means the outcome "In Favor of Provider/Facility/AA Provider". Split decisions are not counted as wins. A dispute that shows up in two quarters is counted in the later one.Payer groups
We sorted payers by the plan or issuer name in the file. Anthem / Elevance includes Empire Blue, Wellpoint, HealthKeepers and Amerigroup. UnitedHealthcare includes UMR, Optum, Golden Rule, All Savers and Surest. Cigna includes Evernorth. Other Blue plans sit in "Other payers".Who is listed
Groups that reported "Fewer than 20", "20-50" or "51-100" staff on their disputes, with at least one 2025 win. Names come from the group name field, so a listing can be a billing entity or a single doctor. Up to 25 NPIs are kept per group.These counts are our own processing of the CMS Federal IDR Public Use Files for 2025 Q1 to Q4. They are not CMS data, and CMS says it does not guarantee the accuracy of all records in the file. If your own records differ, your records win.
If an award is not paid
The federal rule: when the IDR entity picks an offer, the amount owed (the selected offer minus the initial payment and any cost sharing) must be paid to the provider "not later than 30 calendar days after the determination" (45 CFR 149.510(c)(4)(ix)). Below is the order we would follow, in plain words. It is general information, not legal advice.
- Write down the due date. Determination date plus 30 calendar days. Weekends count.
- Match every payment. Check the remittance (835) or EOB against each dispute number. A short payment means the difference is still owed.
- Ask the payer in writing after day 30. Give the dispute number, determination date, amount owed and the 30 day rule. Keep a dated copy. Our suggestion: follow up again about two weeks later and log both dates.
- File with the No Surprises Help Desk. CMS takes provider complaints when an entity is not following the federal IDR process: online at nsa-idr.cms.gov/providercomplaints or by phone at 1-800-985-3059. CMS says supporting documents may be needed and it emails a confirmation when it gets your complaint.
- Self-funded employer plan? The U.S. Department of Labor (EBSA) oversees these plans. Ask EBSA at 1-866-444-3272 and give your Help Desk reference.
- Fully insured plan? Also contact your state insurance department. Each state decides what it can act on, so ask them. Find yours in the NAIC directory of state insurance departments (Texas: the Texas Department of Insurance complaint page).
- Know the limits. Three federal appeals courts have ruled that providers cannot sue to enforce awards, as reported in November 2026, so records and regulator complaints matter. For your own case, talk to a lawyer.
Free unpaid award ledger
One row per dispute: dispute number, payer, plan type, award date, amount owed, 30 day due date, paid Y/N, date and amount paid, still owed, days past due, two follow-up dates, Help Desk and state complaint dates. The Excel file fills in the due date, still owed and days past due for you. Do not put patient details in it; the dispute number is enough.
Free, no email needed. The CSV has the same columns without the formulas. The ledger stays on your computer; this site never asks you to upload it.
Have unpaid awards?
Reply to our email, or write to the contact address at the bottom of this page. Tell us the payer and roughly how many awards are past 30 days. No patient details, please.
We are not a collection agency or a law firm. We do not collect money owed to you or recover awards on your behalf.
