Missouri SB1267 modifies hospital price transparency laws to protect patients from collection actions if hospitals fail to comply.
Missouri SB1267 amends hospital price transparency laws to ensure patients are not subjected to collection actions if a hospital fails to comply with transparency requirements. If a hospital is found not to be in material compliance with hospital price transparency laws, it cannot initiate or pursue collection actions against patients or patient guarantors for debts related to services provided. If a hospital takes such actions despite non-compliance, patients can seek legal recourse, including refunds, penalties, and dismissal of any court actions.
