Health facilities: other; facility fees; prohibit under certain circumstances. Creates new act.

Summary

The bill bans health care providers from billing a separate facility fee for telemedicine visits, services delivered in facilities that are not hospitals, and outpatient services in hospitals unless the care is provided in an emergency room or as observation. It also requires providers to label any allowed facility fee clearly and to tell patients the amount before care is given. Violations can be sued in civil court with costs and attorney fees awarded to successful plaintiffs.
