Relating to hospital facility fee oversight

Summary

The bill stops health‑care providers from charging a separate facility fee for outpatient services, except when the service is on a hospital campus, in a hospital emergency department, or at a licensed freestanding emergency facility. It also forces hospitals, health systems and freestanding emergency facilities to file detailed annual reports on any facility fees they collect, and it allows the state health commission to fine violators up to $1,000 per occurrence.
