AI Summary

This bill requires the commissioner of health, in conjunction with the superintendent of financial services, to promulgate rules and regulations that prohibit hospitals, health systems, or healthcare providers from holding patients responsible for any increase in a bill after the original bill has been paid in full, unless the provider can show good cause for the increase and notify the patient within 90 days.
