AI Summary
This bill, known as the Hospital Price Transparency Act, requires hospitals in Wyoming to publicly disclose their standard charges for all facility items and services, including at least 300 "shoppable services" (services that can be scheduled in advance). These lists of charges, which include gross charges, negotiated rates with insurers (payor-specific negotiated charges), and discounted cash prices, must be easily accessible on the hospital's website in a machine-readable format, free of charge and without requiring personal information. The Department of Health is tasked with monitoring hospitals for compliance, and facilities that fail to comply may be required to submit a corrective action plan. If a hospital does not respond to a violation notice or fails to implement its corrective action plan, the Department of Health can impose daily civil penalties, with higher penalties for repeat offenses. This act is set to expire on July 1, 2029, and the Department of Health is also required to make recommendations for future legislative changes.
