An Act amending the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health Care Facilities Act, providing for hospital price transparency and for medical office price transparency.

Summary

The bill amends the Health Care Facilities Act to create a new chapter on price transparency. It obligates every hospital to post a complete, machine‑readable file of standard charges—including gross, negotiated, and cash prices—for every item or service they offer, and to provide a consumer‑friendly list of at least 300 shoppable services. The goal is to give patients clearer cost information before they seek care.
