Apply to be a balance billing arbitrator
Below is the current list of approved arbitrators and organizations available to preside over a balance billing dispute.
How balance billing arbitration works
Parties to arbitration select an arbitrator or entity from the list. If the parties cannot agree, the OIC will narrow the list to five options. If the parties still cannot reach agreement, the OIC will choose the arbitrator from the narrowed list.
Once selected, the arbitrator presides over baseball style arbitration between health care providers, facilities and carriers. Arbitrators determine their own compensation rates under WAC 284-43B-037(7)(a) and the parties to arbitration split the cost regardless of who prevails, unless a party defaults.
Rules applicable to arbitration can be found in RCW 48.49 and WAC 284-43B.
