Your Surprise Medical Bills Magically Negotiated for Less
Legislation and Consumer Protections
In recent years, there has been a push for legislative measures to protect consumers from surprise medical bills. The No Surprises Act, which took effect in January 2022, aims to protect patients from unexpected out-of-network charges for emergency services and certain non-emergency care2. This legislation requires that patients only pay in-network cost-sharing amounts in these situations, significantly reducing the potential for surprise bills.
