The “No Surprises Act” is a new law coming into effect across the United States on January 1, 2022, that will prohibit “balance billing,” protecting consumers like you from extremely high surprise medical bills.
With the new “No Surprises Act,” you won’t have to worry about paying surprise medical fees. If you have insurance, this new law will eliminate the need for a membership altogether.

In the past air ambulance services could result in surprise medical bills precisely because insurance chooses to not cover the full amount of out of network air medical emergency care. Some air medical companies have taken advantage of this and used the fear of a large balance bill to sell air medical memberships.
The “No Surprises Act” bans these surprise bills for patients with insurance who use out-of-network air ambulance services and limits the amount they pay out-of-pocket starting on January 1.
