AB 1611: Surprise Hospital Billing

Despite having insurance, one in six Americans received a surprise bill for medical services in 2017, according to Kaiser Health News. The study published on June 20th found that nationally millions of emergency visits and hospital stays put people with large employer coverage at risk of receiving a surprise bill.

California legislators have put forth AB 1611 to address this "surprise" or "balance" medical billing. Learn more about AB 1611 and its support by CAHU.
