Pension and Annuity Qualification Notice
The No Surprises Act is a law that protects you from balance billing if you receive care from an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or emergency room. Balance billing happens when an out-of-network provider charges you the difference between the total cost of your care and what your health plan agreed to pay.
Sometimes in-network emergency rooms and hospitals employ out-of-network doctors. In these cases, you might receive care from an out-of-network provider through no fault of your own. Also, in a medical emergency, you might not have time to choose between an in- or out-of-network provider. The No Surprises Act is designed to ensure that you aren’t balance billed if you receive care under these circumstances. It protects you from paying extra when the circumstances are beyond your control.
You should still use network providers whenever possible. Visit your insurance carrier’s website to find a list of network providers near you:
