AZ HB2664

Health care entities that refuse to provide services based on religious beliefs must adopt and disclose a complete list of those services to patients in writing before treatment begins, with patient acknowledgment required.

Health care entities must inform state and federal licensing agencies of all services they will not provide based on religious beliefs, and state agencies must require this disclosure in health care reimbursement program applications.

Health care entities must provide lists of religiously-refused services to all group health plan providers and health insurers within 12 months, and prominently display this information on their websites.

Group health plan providers and health insurers must provide enrollees with lists of in-network health care entities that refuse certain services based on religious beliefs and specify which services each entity will not provide.

The act is titled the "Patient's Right to Know Act" and requires these disclosures be implemented within 12-18 months of the law's effective date.
