HOSPITAL PRICE TRANSPARENCY ACT

Summary

The Hospital Price Transparency Act obligates every licensed hospital in New Mexico to publish its standard charges on a public website, including a machine‑readable file and either a list of at least 300 shoppable services or an online cost estimator. The state health‑care authority will audit compliance, issue correction orders, and prohibit hospitals from pursuing collection actions for services rendered while non‑compliant. Patients can raise non‑compliance as a defense against any debt‑collection effort.
