It’s not the case. The No Surprises Act requires a good faith estimation for most procedures. Although IIRC it doesn’t apply to people who don’t have insurance, which seems kind of backwards as those people would likely be the most price-sensitive and have the least amount of bargaining power in the market. I guess they also tend to have the least amount of political power, too...
