Following months of congressional negotiations, on December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, a $2.3 trillion piece of legislation that includes $900 billion in federal funding and relief for COVID-19.[1] The legislation also includes the No Surprises Act (“Act”), effective January 1, 2022, which significantly bolsters consumer protections for patients by addressing the circumstance of patients receiving “surprise bills” for health care services.[2] While we expect the Biden administration to issue regulations implementing the Act within the next year, stakeholders should be aware of the Act’s many new obligations on health plans,[3] health care facilities, and health care providers.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has issued a revised invitation for licensees to instal network facilities and deploy network service.
In a statement issued on Friday, MCMC said these facilities and service would be for the public cellular services at the universal service targets under the National Digital Infrastructure Plan (Jendela) phase one initiative.
This invitation replaces the original Invitation issued on Nov 20 last year.
“The revised invitation encompasses a scope of work that is divided into two parts. Part one covers the installation of passive infrastructure, while part two covers the installation of active infrastructure and the deployment of public cellular services. Interested licensees can opt to participate in either part one or two, ” it said.

On December 28, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“Appropriations Act”) was passed into law. The Appropriations Act included the No Surprises Act (“Act”), which seeks to protect patients from surprise medical bills in situations where patients have little or no control over who provides their care, including nonemergency services provided by out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, emergency services provided by out-of-network providers and facilities, and air ambulance services. The Act, a rare piece of bipartisan, bicameral legislation, has been a long time in the making, and has undergone multiple iterations. Particularly during the public health emergency, the issue of surprise medical bills is especially pertinent, as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the occurrence of surprise bills in a time where people are less likely to be able to shoulder the unexpected costs.
