Some states have their own laws governing out-of-network payment disputes, and those laws can determine whether a dispute belongs in the Federal or State IDR process. This tool gathers the eligibility criteria for the most common State Specific Laws (SSLs) in one place, so you can check which rules apply before you file. Use it as a starting reference. It does not replace the text of a state’s law or regulation and is not legal advice — confirm the criteria against the governing statute for the state at issue.
