As of June 2022, 30 percent of adults aged between 35 years and 44 years in the U.S. reported they have received an unexpected medical bill after receiving medical care. The No Surprises Act (NSA) went into effect from January 1, 2022, it protects patients from surprise medical bills under certain circumstances, making it illegal for out-of-network providers to charge patients more than the in-network cost-sharing price.
