What’s in it
This bill provides that if a health care facility, or a third party acting on behalf of the health care facility, bills an individual for health care services, a notification must be included with the bill that advises the individual that upon request they may obtain an itemized bill at no charge. If requested, the health care facility or third party shall timely provide the individual with an itemized bill in the same manner as the original bill, including but not limited to delivery via the United States postal service or by electronic mail. “Health care facility” is defined in the bill.
