The No Surprises Act (NSA) went into effect on January 1, 2022. This federal law is designed to minimize surprise bills for emergency care, out of network (OON) care, and care for uninsured or self-pay individuals. To achieve these goals, the NSA relies heavily on physicians providing cost estimates to patients prior to administering care. Because healthcare is often price-opaque, this study was conducted to assess physician and patient attitudes toward price transparency in plastic surgery and aesthetic/self-pay medicine.
