Bill Summary

CONCERNING A PROHIBITION AGAINST A HOSPITAL TAKING CERTAIN DEBT COLLECTION ACTIONS AGAINST A PATIENT IF THE HOSPITAL IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH HOSPITAL PRICE TRANSPARENCY LAWS.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits a hospital from taking certain debt collection actions against a patient if the hospital is not in material compliance with hospital price transparency laws. The bill defines important terms like "collection action," "collection agency," and "hospital price transparency laws." It requires hospitals to refund payments and pay penalties to patients if they are found to be materially non-compliant with price transparency laws. The bill also allows patients to file lawsuits to determine if a hospital was non-compliant on the date they received services, and the hospital cannot pursue collection actions while the lawsuit is pending.
