⚠️ GROSS COI REVEALED: In an extraordinary and fantastically written investigative report, @theintercept's @rose_n_adams unveils how @UHC co-opted @zackcooperYale's #surprisemedicalbill study, all while #Congress embraced it as "academic" and "unbiased" work to write #SMB law.
1⃣ This lays bare how #UnitedHealth has manipulated #surprisebill "research" to enrich itself at the expense of all #patients and the frontline #medical providers risking their lives over the past few years of #Covid.

With new regulations on #SurpriseBills expected to drop momentarily, a reminder that about 1 in 5 emergency visits results in an out-of-network charge, putting patients at risk of surprise bills healthsystemtracker.org/brief/an-exami… 
Even for childbirth -- something patients have months to prepare for, and it's common for new parents to even go on TOURS of hospitals in preparation for -- 1 in 10 in-network hospitalizations comes with an out-of-network charge healthsystemtracker.org/brief/surprise…
Soon, most surprise billing practice should stop with implementation of the No Surprises Act.

NEW Analysis: Among people with employer coverage, nearly 1 in 5 inpatient admissions includes a claim from an out-of-network provider, putting them at risk for potentially high out-of-pocket costs. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/an-analy… @PetersonCHealth
Even when enrollees choose in-network facilities, a meaningful share of inpatient admissions result in the patient receiving a claim from an out-of-network provider.
Emergency care is much more likely to include a claim from an out-of-network provider. This is true whether or not enrollees use in-network facilities.
