An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing an All Payor Claims Database; imposing duties on the Health Care Cost Containment Council; imposing penalties; and making an appropriation.

HB 1739 would create a statewide "All Payor Claims Database" under Pennsylvania's health laws, requiring healthcare providers and insurers to submit claims data to this centralized system. The Health Care Cost Containment Council would be responsible for managing the database and ensuring compliance, with penalties for failure to report data accurately. The bill includes funding ("makes an appropriation") to support the database's development and operation. This directly affects healthcare providers, insurers, and the Council, as they would be required to submit, manage, and use the claims data for oversight purposes.
