意外医疗账单是来自患者未预期的网络外提供者的账单，或者来自患者未选择的网络外提供者的账单。 2014 年，20% 的医院住院病人来自急诊科 (ED)，14% 的门诊病人到急诊室就诊，以及 9% 的择期住院病人可能会导致意外的医疗费用。
A surprise medical bill is a bill from an out-of-network provider that was not expected by the patient or that came from an out-of-network provider not chosen by the patient. In 2014, 20 percent of hospital inpatient admissions that originated in the emergency department (ED), 14 percent of outpatient visits to the ED, and 9 percent of elective inpatient admissions likely led to a surprise medical bill.
