Colorado Joins Nine States in Protecting Patients From Surprise Medical Bills
Even with the best health insurance coverage, consumers are vulnerable to surprise medical bills. Most often, surprise bills are received following an ER visit, when a patient is treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility. As Denver Injury Lawyers, we stay up-to-date on changes in the law that impact our clients. On May 14, 2019, Governor Polis signed into law a bill that prohibits insurance companies from sending balance bills to consumers who unknowingly see an out-of-network provider, either in the context of emergency care or when they seek care at an in-network facility. Doing so will be considered a deceptive trade practice and the state Attorney General has authority to enforce the law. However, where consumers voluntarily seek out-of-network care, balance billing may still be permitted.July 10th, 2019 | Posted by paperstreet, on Personal Injury
