NO SURPRISES ACT — Adds to existing law to establish the No Surprises Act to protect patients from surprise billing practices by out-of-network medical providers. This legislation prohibits the practice of surprise medical billing. It protects consumers by making surprise medical bills void and unenforceable. It allows out-of-network providers to benefit from and be reimbursed at the same rate negotiated by contracted providers. For non-emergency treatment it allows out-of-network providers to contract with patients in advance for amounts beyond what insurance will cover. It permits self-insured businesses whose plans are governed by federal law to benefit from these protections if their plan elects to participate.
