AI Summary
This bill requires hospitals in Oklahoma to publicly disclose certain price transparency information. Specifically, it requires hospitals to make public a digital file with a list of all their standard charges, as well as a more consumer-friendly list of standard charges for at least 300 "shoppable" services (services that can be scheduled in advance). The bill defines key terms like "standard charge," "shoppable service," and "third-party payor." It also outlines requirements for the format, accessibility, and updating of these price lists. The bill empowers the State Department of Health to monitor compliance, request corrective action plans, and impose administrative penalties for non-compliance. The bill repeals the existing Transparency in Health Care Prices Act and sets an effective date of November 1, 2024.
