No Surprises Act

Know your rights against surprise medical bills.

The No Surprises Act protects you from surprise medical bills when you can’t control who is involved in your care, such as emergency services or getting treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center. If you don’t have insurance or aren’t using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Learn How You're Protected

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital, you’re protected from surprise billing.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
