Report: Cassidy's No Surprises Act Has Saved 9 Million Americans from Receiving Surprise Medical Bills

WASHINGTON – A recent study conducted by America’s Health Insurance Plans and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association found that the now-law No Surprises Act, legislation authored by U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), has now protected 9 million Americans from receiving surprise medical bills since it was implemented at the beginning of this year.

"It is great to see legislation clearly benefit the lives of so many Americans,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Our bill has protected families from nine million surprise medical bills so far this year and will continue to do so. This law is working for patients’ pocketbooks as well as their health.”

Prior to Cassidy’s law, a Louisiana man’s bloodwork tests were conducted by an out-of-network lab and resulted in a surprise medical bill of $1,200. Had the test been covered under the No Surprises Act, the patient would have paid the in-network rate of $200.
