Lower Healthcare Costs.

Summary

The bill changes state law so that hospitals and ambulatory surgical facilities must submit quarterly data on the full charges, negotiated rates, and public‑insurer payments for the most common inpatient diagnoses and procedures. The data are sent to the Department of Health and Human Services and posted online, letting patients, employers and insurers compare costs. By making pricing clearer, the measure aims to help consumers make more informed health‑care choices and encourage competition that could lower overall costs.
