Your right to avoid a surprise bill.
April 10, 2024
If you are over a certain age, or have specific risk factors, your doctor may recommend that you get a preventive health screening, like a colonoscopy or a mammogram.
Before you schedule the appointment, it’s important to know who will be reviewing your results, and what will happen if the preventive screening discovers something.
Situations where you might receive a surprise bill
- Your preventive screening revealed something that needs to be examined more closely (diagnostic).
- Your screening was reviewed by an out-of-network doctor.
No Surprises Act
Under the No Surprises Act, you cannot be charged for more than the in-network rate if you are receiving services covered by your plan at an in-network facility.
