A Step In The Right Direction!
A step in the right direction! "Effective today, federal law bans many types of out-of-network medical bills and puts the onus on doctors and health insurance companies to resolve their payment disputes." This article does a nice job of breaking down and simplifying the law including emphasizing that ground ambulance service is not included.
This is incredibly important information because an ambulance ride to the hospital can easily be $2,000 or more, and this can come as a surprise to many folks when they get their medical bill.
Thank you to Senator Tester for his work on this bi-partisan bill!
