PATIENT BILL & OUTSOURCED CARE

Summary

The bill updates the Fair Patient Billing Act and the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act to ensure all patients, regardless of immigration status or wealth, can access hospital financial assistance and charity care. Hospitals must use a single assistance form created by the Attorney General by the end of 2026 and must inform patients in their preferred language about available aid. It also sets new appeal timelines and extends protections to outsourced health services.
