Sample Solution
The No Surprises Act protects consumers with most types of private health insurance coverage against certain medical bills. It was signed into law in 2020, and most protections went into effect as of January 2022. Affected stakeholders include: providers, air ambulances, and insurers. The new law addresses surprise medical bills in three circumstances: (1) when an enrollee receives emergency care either at an out-of-network facility or from an out-of-network provider; (2) when an enrollee uses air ambulance emergency transport services (but not ground ambulance services); and (3) when an enrollee receives non-emergency care at an in-network facility but is treated by an out-of-network health care provider without knowingly electing that provider or giving consent to be billed.
