HB 2341: Hospital charges disclosure

Providing for disclosure of the cost of hospital health care services.

Summary

  • There is a legislative finding that the disclosure of charges for hospital services ordered by physicians and other health providers for in-patients may make providers more aware of the cost consequences. This may result in a reduction in the utilization of hospital services and have a positive effect on containing health costs.
