Back in January, I told you about the No Surprises Act, a law created by Congress last year tucked away deep inside the 2,123 page Consolidated Appropriations Act.
Under the No Surprises Act, if, other than as a matter of personal choice, you receive services from a health care provider (facility or doctor) not a part of your health plan’s network, you will only be required to pay what you would have been charged if the provider was in the network. You’ll still be responsible for your normal co-pays and deductibles, but no more. The act also creates an arbitration process whereby your health insurance plan and an out-of-network health care provider who treated you can duke it out to determine what the provider will be paid. You, however, are out of the middle of this dispute.
