The law

Connecticut Surprise Billing Law (Public Act 15-146, expanded by P.A. 19-117)

Connecticut's surprise billing law caps out-of-network charges at the in-network rate for emergency services and inadvertent out-of-network care at in-network facilities. P.A. 19-117 extended coverage to additional non-emergency settings.
