The No Surprises Act (“NSA”) refers to new legislation which became effective January 1, 2022. The intent of this Act is to protect consumers from “surprise” medical bills and balance billing, which is the practice of requiring a patient to make up (pay) costs not otherwise covered by their insurance company.
