No Surprise Act
What Is The No Surprise Act?
The No Surprises Act is a law designed to shield patients from unexpected medical bills in situations where they have limited control over who provides their care. This includes emergency care or instances where treatment is delivered by an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility, like a hospital or ambulatory surgical center.
For those who are uninsured or opting not to use insurance, the act also ensures the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate, outlining the expected costs for their medical services.
