What to do next

In an emergency, go to the nearest ER — federal law protects most insured patients from out-of-network balance bills for emergency care, and Good Faith Estimates apply to scheduled care instead. Afterward: review the bill, contact your insurer, and if you're uninsured ask about financial assistance.
