Bill Summary
This bill proposes to limit the use of facility fees for certain hospital outpatient department services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to restrict how hospitals can charge "facility fees" for certain services provided in their outpatient departments, meaning patients receiving care at a hospital's clinic or other outpatient location might see limitations on the extra charges they are billed for the use of the hospital's facilities, beyond the cost of the actual medical service itself.
