Unexpected medical bills

Ban on surprise medical bills goes into effect

by Samantha Fields
Jan 4, 2022

Before Jan. 1, an emergency trip to an out-of-network hospital may have resulted in bills not covered by insurance; even in-network hospitals with out-of-network providers could result in surprise bills.
