Medical facilities and health care billing entities must investigate patient-reported overcharges and respond within 30 days, either confirming a refund/cancellation or providing contact information for the Office for Consumer Health Assistance

Confirmed overpayments must be refunded to patients within 60 days of determination, though facilities may apply overpayments to other outstanding patient bills

Facilities and billing entities cannot bill patients for disputed charges during an active investigation or Office review

Administrative fines of 10% of the overpayment amount (capped at $5,000) may be assessed against facilities or billing entities that fail to issue required refunds
