Bill > H1187

This bill aims to provide financial transparency for patients receiving care at hospital-based outpatient facilities. It requires these facilities to inform patients prior to delivering non-emergency services that they are licensed as part of a hospital and may incur greater financial liability than if the services were not provided at a hospital-based facility. The bill also requires hospital-based facilities to clearly identify themselves as such, including through signage, marketing materials, and website information. The bill grants the commissioner the authority to promulgate regulations necessary to implement these requirements.
