Relating to patient stay reports submitted by freestanding emergency medical care facilities.

SB 1010 requires freestanding emergency medical care facilities in Texas to submit patient stay reports to the Health and Human Services Commission for any patient stay exceeding 48 hours. Facilities are not required to report stays of 48 hours or less. The bill mandates these reports be submitted in a specified form and manner, effective September 1, 2025. This directly affects freestanding emergency facilities by adding a reporting obligation for longer patient stays.
