An act relating to limiting facility fees for certain hospital outpatient department services
This bill proposes to restrict how much hospitals can charge for facility fees on specific outpatient services. It directly affects hospital outpatient departments and the patients who receive care there. The legislation aims to limit the amount hospitals can bill separately for using their facilities during outpatient visits. This change would apply to certain medical services provided outside of inpatient hospital stays. The bill is currently under review by the Committee on Health Care.
