What Are the States and Congress Doing about Surprise Medical Bills?

In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Jill Brooking discuss surprise medical bills and what laws have been enacted or proposed at the state and federal level. The two address situations in which surprise medical bills occur, the two ways that the individual is financially impacted, polling and claims data concerning the extent of this issue, and which states are taking a comprehensive approach to resolving this issue for fully insured plans in their states. Suzanne and Jill then discuss recent proposals by three bipartisan groups in the Senate.
