The No Surprises ACT (NSA) protects individuals from receiving a “surprise bill” after receiving emergency care and or non-emergency care from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities and air ambulance services from out -of-network providers (CMS, 2022). Prior to the No Surprises Act, consumers could receive a bill from the out-of-network service providers for the remainder of the balance that their insurance does not cover due to out-of-network costs (CMS, 2022).

Technology has improved healthcare quality, safety and has decreased wait times for patients receiving service (Alotaibi & Federico, 2017). Computers have made patient information and patient data to be easily shared with a few keystrokes. Patient information can be shared quicker than ever before.  Ethical dilemmas such as patient information being shared and data breaches, are more frequent and can cause ethical dilemmas. Leaving computers unattended and sharing patient information with other nurses or healthcare workers can affect patient safety (Alotaibi & Federico, 2017).  For example, a famous basketball player is injured and taken to a hospital and the information is discovered by the clerk through insurance check verification form an outside service provider. This can affect patient safety and confidentiality if the individual checking insurance leaks the information to the public. This can be avoided by remembering that all patient information shared to individuals who are not included in the patient’s care is a HIPPA violation that can receive financial and or criminal penalties.
