No Surprises: An Act of Patient Protection

Speaking with Steph

Stephanie Rodin

Hi! I’m Stephanie Rodin, host of the Speaking with Steph podcast. In this episode, I’ll be talking to you directly with respect to the new bill enacted in 2022, the No Surprises Act. Passed to provide protection to patients who inadvertently received care from an out-of-network provider that they did not choose on their own. These surprise bills pose a financial hardship to the patients who, in the end, didn’t choose that provider. It is estimated that this bill will apply to appx 10mil out-of-network surprise medical bills this year alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What services are covered under this bill?
• What types of treatment are covered by this bill?
• What do providers need to do to abide by the No Surprises bill?
• In what cases can a waiver be consented to?
• What should the waiver consent form consist of?
• Steph’s recommendations going forward from a legal perspective
