No Surprises Act

The state requires insurers to hold enrollees harmless for amounts beyond the in-network level of cost sharing. Above protection applies to HMO and PPO enrollees, emergency services provided by out-of-network professionals and facilities provided by all or most classes of health care professionals. Protections do not apply to enrollees of self-funded plans or non-emergency services.
