The “No Surprises Act,” which took effect Jan. 1, prevents patients from being billed extra in situations such as when they receive emergency care at a hospital or from a doctor considered out-of-network. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department is publicizing the new protections and also offering to help people who believe they have been wrongly billed.
“The implementation of the No Surprises Act is a huge step toward ending unexpected and all-too-often financially devastating medical bills,” state insurance Commissioner Jessica Altman said. “The Insurance Department is committed to protecting patients from balance billing and stands ready to assist consumers and insurers in navigating this new legislation.”
