The Cuomo Administration announced that a new law protecting consumers from getting hit with surprise, out-of-network medical bills are in effect. The law holds consumers harmless from any surprise or emergency out-of-network medical bills they receive from providers, and requires enhanced consumer disclosures to protect patients from getting hit with surprise medical bills in the first place. The new law also requires enhanced consumer disclosures from insurers, doctors and hospitals, allowing consumers to more easily know which providers are out-of-network, how much those providers expect to charge, and how much the insurer expects to cover.
