relative to emergency medical care provided at freestanding hospital emergency facilities.

Summary

The bill would require New Hampshire freestanding hospital emergency facilities to give patients the right to select the acute‑care hospital they are transferred to, rather than limiting transfers to the facility’s parent hospital. It also bans steering, coercion, and exclusive contracts that restrict patient choice, and creates enforcement mechanisms. The measure was tabled and did not pass.
