Summary of Legislation
Currently, healthcare providers who issue a self-pay estimated cost of service cannot charge
more than 15 percent or $400 over the estimate, whichever is lower, unless there’s an
emergency or unforeseen circumstance.
The bill clarifies that the $400 limit only applies to extra charges beyond the estimate and total
costs are not capped at $400.
Assessment of No Fiscal Impact
The technical changes in the bill codify current practice, and will not change the revenue or
expenditures of any state agency or local government. For this reason, the bill is assessed as
having no fiscal impact
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed.
