ER visits have higher copays than regular visits, typically $150 to $500. Most plans waive the ER copay if you are admitted to the hospital. The ACA requires coverage of emergency services at in-network rates even at out-of-network facilities. The No Surprises Act protects you from surprise billing by out-of-network ER doctors. Follow-up care should be done with your regular doctor to avoid repeat ER costs.
