Be Prepared for the New Regulations! There’s a good chance that you have either received a surprise bill for medical care or that you know someone who has. Surprise medical bills are not uncommon. Among privately insured patients, an estimated one in five emergency claims and one in six in-network hospitalizations include at least one out-of-network (surprise) bill. And tackling surprise billing is important as it often has devastating financial consequences for individuals & their families.
