Hospitals; requiring hospitals to provide certain itemized statement; authorizing certain enforcement. Effective date.

SB 1005 requires Oklahoma hospitals to provide patients with a detailed, itemized billing statement within 30 business days after discharge. The statement must include specific details like service dates, medical procedure codes, charges, insurance payments, patient payments, and final payment amounts. Hospitals must also provide similar itemized statements to insurance companies upon request within one year of receiving a claim. The Oklahoma State Department of Health can enforce this by imposing fines or suspending hospital licenses for noncompliance.
