Relating to certain health care transaction fees and payment claims; providing an administrative penalty.

HB 2556 prohibits health care providers from charging facility fees for telehealth services or preventative health services (Section 328.002). It requires health care providers to obtain and include a national provider identifier (NPI) on all payment claims for themselves and each provider-based facility they own or manage (Sections 328.003-328.004). The bill directly affects hospitals, provider-based facilities, and insurers processing health care claims. Violations may result in administrative penalties as specified in the legislation.
