-
Health care providers furnishing 25 or more elective medical service bundles must make available retail prices for at least 25 bundles on their website, business office, and waiting room, including facility fees and notice that prices may be adjusted based on patient health status.
-
Providers may offer patients itemized prices at no cost for specific bundles based on retail prices, which may be adjusted for patient health complexity and must list included and excluded services.

-
Health plan companies that agree to an itemized price must pay the provider that amount in full before services are provided or reimburse patients who already paid, with this payment constituting full compensation.
-
Contracts with health plans, facilities, clinics, or health systems cannot prohibit or penalize providers from disclosing bundle information, prices, or itemized costs, and retaliation against providers for such accurate disclosures is prohibited.
