The impact of surprise billing laws on emergency services
研究了美国各州意外账单法对急诊医生报销、收费、网络参与及潜在意外账单事件的影响，发现法律增加了医生网络参与并减少了意外账单事件，但未对价格产生一致影响。
Numerous states implemented laws to protect emergency patients from surprise out-of-network medical bills. We investigated the effects of the state laws on emergency clinician reimbursements, charges, network participation, and potential surprise billing episodes. We did not find consistent evidence of effects on prices or charges. However, the state laws resulted in increased network participation and a reduction in potential surprise billing episodes. Our results suggest that the federal No Surprises Act, which is similar to many of the state laws, is unlikely to lead to price increases, but may benefit patients through increased provider network participation and alignment.
