In January 2023, the “No Surprise Billing Act” went into effect in the state of Colorado. As a consumer, you are protected from out-of-network surprise billing. You have the right to request a “Good Faith Estimate” from your medical provider. This is a non-binding estimate; however, the estimate must be within $400 of the actual cost of services.
