Surprise Medical Bill Protections – Patient Tips Guide

 

U.S. PIRG created this patient tips guide to help patients understand their rights under the No Surprises Act. Insured Americans can read or download this handy reference guide to learn and use their new rights going into effect on January 1, 2022. The tips explain which bills are illegal and what to do if you get one. It also includes the phone number for a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) hotline that will be up and running on Jan. 1 to answer patients’ questions and take complaints about doctors and hospitals who might be on the wrong side of the law.
