Balance Billing
Congress enacted the No Surprises Act in December 2020, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA). This law applies even where the Virginia law may not apply.
Consumer notice
The Bureau has prepared a notice to inform consumers of their balance billing rights and protections. We intend for this notice to satisfy both the federal No Surprises Act and Virginia's laws. Carriers and providers should provide this notice to persons who are protected by both Virginia and federal surprise balance billing laws.
