Federal "No Surprises" Act
The federal No Surprises Act will go into effect on January 1, 2022 and applies to self funded and fully insured plans. This new law will have some overlap with Colorado’s Out-of-Network Health Care Services law, put into place by HB19-1174. Know that the Division is working to evaluate the intersection between the state and federal laws. Both laws protect consumers from surprise out of network bills. If you receive a surprise bill and have questions about which law is applicable, contact our Consumer Services Division for assistance.
