Accidents Happen, Be Prepared with InsuraGuest!
Jun 20, 2019
(CNN)Unexpected medical bills are one of Americans' top health care headaches.
And it's easy to see why: Roughly 1 in every 6 emergency room or in-hospital stays generated at least one out-of-network medical bill in 2017, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of claims data from large-employer plans published Thursday. That leaves patients at risk of receiving hefty surprise medical bills.
Two-thirds of Americans say they are "very worried" or "somewhat worried" about being able to afford unexpected medical bills, a previous Kaiser poll has shown. And more than three-quarters want the federal government to address surprise medical bills, though they are divided over whether insurers or providers should cover the cost.
