Georgia Legislators: End Surprise Medical Bills!
When you are rushed to the ER there's often no opportunity to choose your ER doctor much less ask whether they're in your insurance company's network. Later, you might learn that they aren't covered, and now you are responsible for a financially-devastating surprise medical bill.
This gap – between what your insurance covers and what you are asked to pay – is the surprise insurance gap.
Each year, insurance companies in Georgia shift hundreds of millions of dollars in medical costs to patients by narrowing their physician networks and sticking consumers with the difference between in and out-of-network doctors.
Georgians are paying more than ever for health insurance, but plans are failing when we need them most. We need a comprehensive solution that closes these gaps and ends surprise medical bills while also ensuring access to quality care.
Right now, Georgia lawmakers can pass legislation that would put an end to surprise bills for good – but time is running out. We only have until March 31 to show our support and help get this legislation across the finish line.
Sign the petition before the March 31 deadline and urge Georgia legislators to end surprise medical bills!
Dear [Lawmaker],
I support a comprehensive solution that will end surprise medical bills.
Too many Georgians are receiving surprise medical bills for emergency services we thought were covered by our insurance plans. These bills that insurance plans won't cover come on top of record high premiums, deductibles and cost-sharing. Yet our insurance plans are letting us down when we need them most.
The time to act is now. Patients need protection and relief from surprise medical bills. 22% of Georgia residents have medical debt in collections, and healthcare costs are the number one reason people file for bankruptcy. Patients can't afford the cost of inaction.
Georgians need a fair, comprehensive solution that takes patients out of the middle, boosts transparency, and ends surprise billing, while ensuring long-term access to quality care.

I want my lawmakers to end the Surprise Insurance Gap and surprise medical bills for Georgians.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
