Surprise Billing Protection Information

We want to ensure you're informed about your rights and protections regarding unexpected medical bills. This notice is intended to provide you with crucial information and offer you the choice to waive certain protections in favor of out-of-network care.

​

You are provided this notice because the provider or facility you are considering is not within your health plan's network, meaning they do not have an agreement with your plan. It's important to be aware that seeking care from such providers could result in higher costs.

​

Federal law provides protection in the following scenarios:

• Emergency care from out-of-network providers and facilities.

• Treatment by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center without your knowledge or consent.

​

If you have questions about whether these protections apply to your situation, please consult your healthcare provider or a patient advocate.

 

By signing this form, you may potentially incur additional costs because you are relinquishing your protections under the law. This means you may be responsible for paying the full amount for items and services received, and your health plan might not count these payments towards your deductible and out-of-pocket limit.

​

It's crucial not to sign this form if you did not have a choice of providers when receiving care, for instance, if a doctor was assigned to you without the option to change.

​

Before making a decision, consider reaching out to your health plan to find an in-network provider or facility. If none are available, your health plan may work out an arrangement with the provider or another facility.
