AI Summary
This bill aims to provide greater transparency for patients receiving care at hospital-based facilities. It requires these facilities to inform patients prior to non-emergency services that they may incur higher financial liability compared to receiving the same services at a non-hospital-based facility. The bill also mandates that hospital-based facilities clearly identify themselves as such in their signage, marketing materials, and other communications. Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner to promulgate regulations to implement these transparency measures.
