SF 1589 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requirements modification for making current standard charges available to the public

This bill requires hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, and large medical or dental practices (with specific revenue thresholds) to publicly post their standard prices for services. It defines "standard charge" to include all pricing tiers - like cash payments, negotiated rates with insurers, and the highest/lowest negotiated rates - so the public sees a complete picture of costs. Providers must list these prices on their websites, making healthcare costs more transparent for patients. The law applies to facilities generating over $50 million in annual revenue in 2024, decreasing to $10 million by 2026.
