Payment of health claims.

Summary

The law forces hospitals to tell patients about charity care and other payment‑help programs, post signs in key areas and post the information on patient portals. Before a hospital or its agents start a collection action, they must make a reasonable effort to notify the patient of those programs and give an application. It also bans insurers from downcoding claims or changing reimbursement rates after a claim is filed and limits how long they can seek repayment or audit a paid claim.
