Understanding the No Surprises Act at Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center 

At Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center, we are committed to transparency and protecting patients from unexpected medical bills. The No Surprise Act, effective January 1, 2022, ensures that patients are not financially burdened by surprise bills from out-of-network providers for emergency services or certain non-emergency care. 

To help you understand your rights and protections under this act, we’ve provided a detailed disclosure document that outlines key information.

What Is the No Surprises Act? 

The No Surprises Act was designed to protect patients from unexpected medical bills that can arise when receiving care from out-of-network providers. Key highlights include: 

• Emergency Services: Patients cannot be charged more than in-network rates for emergency care, regardless of the provider or facility. 
  
• Non-Emergency Services at In-Network Facilities: For certain services, out-of-network providers cannot bill patients for more than in-network cost-sharing amounts without prior consent. 
  
• Good Faith Estimates: Patients are entitled to receive a good faith estimate of expected charges for scheduled services, helping them plan for medical costs.
