Horizon battles egregious costs


IT’S TIME TO END PRICE GOUGING BY SOME OUT-OF-NETWORK DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS.

Pending legislation can help solve the problem.

When insured New Jersey residents receive ER care from an out-of-network facility — or even unintended care from an out-of-network physician at an in-network facility — current regulations essentially require that their insurance company pay whatever amount is charged. Unfortunately, a handful of doctors and hospitals are charging exorbitant prices. These overcharges cost New Jersey consumers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

What you can do.

Now is the time to act. Support your local legislators today and ask them to put an end to out-of-network price gouging by voting for the Out-of-Network Consumer Protection, Transparency, Cost Containment and Accountability Act.
