    America's No Surprises Act has protected patients from unexpected medical bills, but flaws in its arbitration system may be driving up health care costs and insurance premiums. japantimes.co.jp/commentary/20 #commentary #worldnews #us #nosurprisesact #cms #healthcare #medicine

    Also, if you go to a hospital that's in your insurance network, but they bring in out-of-network providers without clear notice and consent, you can't be billed for the difference.

    So if you're getting surprise bills for out-of-network medical providers, chances are the No Surprises Act makes that bill illegal. And that means you probably don't owe nearly as much as they claim.

    Some people love surprises.

    But a surprise medical bill is something that's never welcome, no matter what you wrap it in.

    This is where the No Surprises Act can save the day.

    If you have emergency care, and you get treatment from a provider who's outside your covered network, the No Surprises Act bans charges that would be more than you'd pay for an in-network provider.

    There have been a lot of lawsuits over the anti-surprise billing arbitration process, but a new lawsuit from an air ambulance company against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona is for a newer reason:

    They aren't arguing over the rates anymore; they just wanna get paid

    CW: Long thread/13

    Heard of the "surprise billing epidemic"? That's where you go to a hospital that's covered by your insurer, only to discover - after the fact - that the #EmergencyRoom is operated by a separate, PE-backed company that charges you thousands for junk fees. KKR and #Blackstone invented this scam, then funneled millions into fighting the #NoSurprisesAct, which more-or-less killed it:
