Relates to providing information to patients and the public on hospital rule-based exclusions

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Public Health Law requiring each general hospital to complete a standardized form listing any rule‑based exclusions that limit care in defined practice areas. The completed forms must be submitted to the health commissioner and posted on the department’s website, with links added to hospital and insurance communications. The goal is to give patients clear information about unavailable services and prevent hidden barriers to care.
