Bill > A01900

This bill requires the New York State Commissioner of Health to create and publish quarterly reports on hospital compliance with the federal hospital price transparency law, which mandates that hospitals publicly disclose their pricing information. Under the proposed legislation, these reports must be prominently displayed on the department's website, making it easy for the public to access information about which hospitals are following federal pricing transparency regulations. Additionally, the bill establishes that hospitals found to be non-compliant with federal price transparency requirements will be subject to penalties outlined in section 12 of the public health law. The bill will go into effect 180 days after it becomes law, providing hospitals with time to prepare for the new reporting requirements. The overall goal of this legislation is to increase transparency in healthcare pricing, helping patients understand and compare medical costs more easily, and holding hospitals accountable for providing clear pricing information as mandated by federal regulations.
