Pick up any healthcare news feed or relevant state or federal initiative, and no doubt you will see the "surprise billing" issue headlining. The issue of a patient not knowing that a provider is not in their network is important, but there is another major cause of surprise bills: insurance plans denying legitimate claims for emergency care as "non-emergent."
