BALANCE BILLING PROTECTION FOR OUT-OF-NETWORK SERVICES
Starting January 1, 2021, Virginia state law may protect you from “balance billing” when you get:
• EMERGENCY SERVICES from an out-of-network hospital, or an out-of-network doctor or other medical provider at a hospital; or
• NON-EMERGENCY SURGICAL OR ANCILLARY SERVICES from an out-of-network lab or health care professional at an in-network hospital, ambulatory surgical center or other health care facility.
