Protecting North Carolinians from #surprisebilling is a major way we can address health care costs. @SenatorRickGunn is co-sponsoring SB 386. [THREAD] below on why this bill matters. #ncpol fiscalhealthnc.com/powerful-nc-se…
What is surprise billing? You schedule a procedure at a hospital specifically because it is in-network, but then are seen by a provider like an anesthesiologist who is out-of-network. You have no idea at the time, but in a few months you’ll get a bill for possibly thousands $$.
Even if you’ve personally never received a surprise bill, you and every other @BlueCrossNC member still pays for them through your premiums. How much? More than $14 million per year.
Podcast from @FiscalHealthNC w/@RalphHise on #NCGA bill to address surprise billing. @PatrickConwayMD says, "Getting rid of surprise billing is the right thing to do for North Carolina." fiscalhealthnc.com/podcast-nc-sen…
And here’s how @BryonyWinn puts it, “Predictability and affordability is SO important for customers and families. Even more so at times in their lives when they are sick.”
