With the spread of COVID-19, families are more likely to receive surprise medical bills and are less financially able to handle them. Despite some limited action on behalf of the U.S. Congress and Trump Administration, protections against most surprise medical bills during or after the COVID-19 pandemic are almost nonexistent.
Now that the No Surprises Act protections are in effect, we continue to provide resources about the statute. See our resources tab to learn more about the new law and our efforts to keep it strong for consumers. You can also visit the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ website on the law for more information: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
