The bill tightens hospital price-disclosure rules by adding formatting requirements, executive attestation of accuracy, and stronger fines. It extends similar price-posting rules to medical labs, imaging centers, and hospital-affiliated surgery centers starting in 2026 and 2027, and requires insurers to offer real-time cost tools and publish negotiated rates.
Hospitals, labs, imaging centers, surgery centers, health insurers, and employers offering employee health coverage face new disclosure duties. Patients and employers are meant to benefit from clearer cost information.
Noncompliant providers and insurers face daily fines that scale with size and repeat violations, adding legal and financial exposure. Employers gain new audit rights over insurers and pharmacy benefit managers, increasing oversight demands on those companies.
