AI Summary
This bill requires health care providers in Iowa who refer patients to an ambulatory surgical center to disclose certain information to the patient. This includes details about the ownership of the center, the patient's suitability for outpatient treatment, the personnel and capabilities of the center, and the process for transferring the patient to a hospital if complications arise. Health care providers who violate these disclosure requirements may face disciplinary action from their licensing authority.
