SB 752 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health Care Facilities Act, providing for hospital price transparency and for prohibition on collection action of debt against patients for noncompliant hospitals.

SB 752 requires Pennsylvania hospitals to publicly disclose standardized pricing for services in a clear, online format. Hospitals must list gross charges, negotiated rates with insurers, discounted cash prices, and billing codes for all services - especially "shoppable" outpatient procedures - on their websites and provide printed copies upon request. The law prohibits hospitals from pursuing debt collection from patients if they fail to comply with these transparency rules. This directly affects hospitals (requiring new reporting duties) and patients (providing clearer cost information before care). The policy aims to increase price visibility without mandating specific pricing structures.
