Minnesota SF1589 modifies the requirements for making current standard charges available to the public. Hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, and medical or dental practices with certain revenue thresholds must publicly list their standard charges.

Patients or guarantors can bring actions against practices that violate these restrictions, and courts must dismiss such actions with prejudice.
