Balance Billing Protection

Rights and protections against surprise medical bills

When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn鈥檛 be charged more than your plan鈥檚 copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.

What is balance or 鈥渟urprise billing鈥�?

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, like a copayment, coinsurance or deductible. You may have additional costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn鈥檛 in your health plan鈥檚 network.

鈥淥ut-of-network鈥� means providers and facilities that haven鈥檛 signed a contract with your health plan to provide services. Out-of-network providers may be allowed to bill you for the difference between what your plan pays and the full amount charged for a service. This is called 鈥渂alance billing.鈥� This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your plan鈥檚 deductible or annual out-of-pocket limit.

鈥淪urprise billing鈥� is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can鈥檛 control who is involved in your care鈥攍ike when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. Surprise medical bills could cost thousands of dollars depending on the procedure or service.

You鈥檙e protected from balance billing for:

Emergency services

If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most they can bill you is your plan鈥檚 in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles). You can鈥檛 be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you鈥檙e in stable condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

Florida law also provides some protection for balance billing. If your insurance* provider is from Florida, then you can鈥檛 be balanced billed for emergency services. You are only responsible for paying your copay, deductible and coinsurance.

*Florida law doesn鈥檛 apply to insurance plans coming from other states or employer owned insurance plans. Federal law does provide protection for those.

Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center

When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan鈥檚 in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist or intensivist services. These providers can鈥檛 balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

If you get other types of services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can鈥檛 balance bill you unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

Also Florida law doesn鈥檛 allow providers to balance bill for other services covered by your insurance for non-emergency visits if you are part of a Healthcare Management Organization* (鈥淗MO鈥�) from Florida. If you are in a Preferred Provider Organization* (鈥淧PO鈥�) from the state of Florida, then Florida law provides you protections as well. You can鈥檛 be balanced billed when you are at a provider who is out-of-network if you didn鈥檛 have a choice who treated you.

*Florida law doesn鈥檛 apply to insurance plans coming from other states or employer owned insurance plans. Federal law does provide protection for those.

When balance billing isn鈥檛 allowed, you also have these protections

You鈥檙e only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductible that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay any additional costs to out-of-network providers and facilities directly.

Generally, your health plan must:

• Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (also known as 鈥減rior authorization鈥�)
• Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers
• Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits
• Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your in-network deductible and out-of-pocket limit

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate

Explaining how much your health care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don鈥檛 have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• If you schedule an item or service at least three business days in advance, make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within one business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within three business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within three business days after you ask.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
