The protections from surprise billing will apply in all emergency situations (w/ lone exception of ground ambulance rides) & for non-emergency out-of-network physician services received at in-network facilities.

Today’s surprise billing fix is a huge win for consumers!

As of 1/1/2022, it will be illegal nationwide for an out-of-network provider to surprise bill a patient for more than their standard in-network cost-sharing obligations.
