Quick answer: Nebraska is a bifurcated state. Some disputes are governed by Nebraska's own specified state law, while others default to the federal No Surprises Act IDR process depending on the plan type and service involved.
Nebraska's specified state law applies narrowly — only to emergency services up to the point of stabilization furnished by out-of-network providers at in-network emergency facilities. The federal IDR process applies to post-stabilization emergency services, non-emergency services from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance services.
