Opinion: For surprise medical billing, some proposals in Congress would have negative affect

By Potomac Local News

In addition to our efforts in the General Assembly, some issues must be solved by the Congress and surprise medical billing is one of those issues. When members of Congress return to Washington in a few days, I believe that they should take immediate action to work on common-sense legislation that will resolve the problem of surprise medical billing.

Anyone who has been impacted by a surprise medical bill—and that’s roughly 57% percent of all Americans, according to a University of Chicago, study understands the heavy financial toll that was endured. Individuals who have received medical treatment weeks or months earlier should not be confronted with surprise medical bills which require payment for costs they assumed would be covered by their insurance company.
