Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight


ENSURING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT SERVES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) is charged
with helping implement many reforms of the Affordable Care Act, the historic
health reform bill that was signed into law March 23, 2010. CCIIO oversees the
implementation of the provisions related to private health insurance. In
particular, CCIIO is working with states to establish new Health Insurance
Marketplaces.

CCIIO works closely with state regulators, consumers, and other stakeholders to
ensure the Affordable Care Act best serves the American people.

Ending Surprise Medical Bills

Starting January 1, 2022, consumers have new billing protections when getting
emergency care, non-emergency care from out-of-network providers at in-network
facilities, and air ambulance services from out-of-network providers. Through
new rules aimed to protect consumers, excessive out-of-pocket costs are
restricted, and emergency services must continue to be covered without any prior
authorization, and regardless of whether or not a provider or facility is
in-network. See how new rules help protect people from surprise medical bills
and remove consumers from payment disputes between a provider or health care
facility and their health plan, visit: cms.gov/nosurprises.
