Starting January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act protects people
covered under group and individual health plans from receiving surprise medical bills when they receive most
emergency services, non-emergency services from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, and
services from out-of-network air ambulance service providers. It also establishes an independent dispute
resolution process for payment disputes between plans and providers and provides new dispute resolution
opportunities for uninsured and self-pay individuals when they receive a medical bill that is substantially
greater than the good faith estimate they get from the medical provider.
This program will also discuss the use
of the new CMS Medical Bill Rights website to help patients exercise their rights and find a resolution if they
receive unexpected medical bills.
