Bill Summary
For legislation to improve health care cost accountability. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve health care cost accountability by introducing a new measure called the "Weighted Average Payer Rate" (WAPR). The WAPR is a calculation that considers the inpatient revenue per discharge and outpatient revenue per visit for commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid payers, weighted by the provider's payer mix. The bill amends existing laws to require the inclusion of WAPR data in various reports and public hearings to provide more transparency on health care costs and trends.
