Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting hospitals and health care providers from storing credit card information without consent
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York General Business Law to prohibit hospitals and healthcare providers from storing a patient's credit card information without first obtaining written, signed consent from the patient. Under this proposed legislation, healthcare providers must explicitly inform patients in writing, using at least 12-point font, if they intend to keep the patient's credit card on file and if that credit card information might be used to pay future account balances. The bill aims to enhance patient privacy and financial transparency by requiring healthcare providers to obtain explicit permission before storing sensitive financial information. The law would go into effect 90 days after it is signed, giving healthcare providers time to update their documentation and consent processes to comply with the new requirements.
