ACEP Now: Vol 41 – No 02 – February 2022Meanwhile, keep in mind that the ban on balance billing and the other patient protections from the No Surprises Act are now in place—and won’t be impacted by our lawsuit. It is important for you to comply with these requirements, and ACEP has created a webpage to help you better understand them. Learn more on page 21.
Finally, surprise billing advocacy happens also on the state level. As of December 20, 2021, 19 states had introduced 37 bills related to out-of-network billing. ACEP’s state legislative staff are working directly with ACEP chapters to support state-level advocacy. Contact your local chapter to see how you can make an impact at the state level, and join the 911 Grassroots Network (acep.org/911grassrootsnetwork) to stay apprised of ACEP’s federal advocacy efforts.
