FL H1351

Licensed healthcare facilities must post schedules of charges in reception areas showing the 50 most frequently provided services, with prices for uninsured patients paying by cash, check, credit card, or debit card.

Licensed facilities, physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, and podiatrists must disclose to patients at the point of sale whether their cost-sharing obligation exceeds the retail price of services without health insurance coverage.

Physicians and osteopathic physicians must provide insured patients with applicable Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes and retail prices for scheduled services upon request before services are rendered.

Effective January 1, 2024, health insurers must apply nonpreferred provider payments toward a patient's deductible and out-of-pocket maximum as if the service were provided by a preferred provider when the patient requests this and the nonpreferred provider's charge equals or is below the preferred network cost or the 25th percentile of statewide average charges.

Most provisions take effect July 1, 2023, except the health insurer provision regarding nonpreferred provider payments, which takes effect January 1, 2024.
