A bill for an act relating to the disclosure of prices charged for certain health services rendered by health care providers and hospitals.
HF 61 requires health care providers to publicly list prices for their 25 most common services (with coding and plain-language descriptions) online, updated annually. Hospitals must list prices for 75 most common inpatient and 75 outpatient services (using Medicare grouping) online, updated quarterly. All disclosed prices must include a disclaimer stating they are estimates, not binding charges, and actual costs may vary. The bill directs Iowa's department to align these requirements with existing federal price transparency rules under the Affordable Care Act.
