Bill > S05693

This bill requires the New York State Department of Health commissioner to produce quarterly reports on hospital compliance with federal hospital price transparency laws and regulations. These reports must be prominently displayed on the department's website, providing public visibility into how healthcare facilities are following federal guidelines that require hospitals to disclose their pricing information. The bill also establishes that hospitals that do not comply with these federal price transparency requirements will be subject to penalties under section 12 of the public health law. The legislation will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving hospitals time to prepare for the new reporting requirements. Federal hospital price transparency law, which went into effect in January 2021, mandates that hospitals provide clear, accessible pricing information for various medical services and procedures, helping patients understand potential healthcare costs before receiving treatment.
