HEALTHCARE ADR SERVICES

The increased number of healthcare industry transactions has contributed to an escalation in the number of disputes, evidenced by double-digit percent increases in the number of healthcare-related cases filed with the AAA in the last few years.

The AAA works with healthcare and related organizations to integrate alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods into dispute resolution programs, providing powerful, private, efficient and cost-effective processes to help prevent disputes and/or resolve them.

EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2010: The AAA will retain a portion of the administrative filing fee if a party files a demand for arbitration that is incomplete or otherwise does not meet the filing requirements contained in the Rules, and if the deficiency cannot be corrected in a reasonable period of time. Please review the fee schedule in the current rules for additional details.
