HB2268

HB2268 establishes health care site neutrality in Pennsylvania by prohibiting facility fees and limiting reimbursement rates.

HB2268 mandates that health care providers in Pennsylvania must inform patients about their financial liability before services are rendered. It prohibits facility fees for services provided in off-campus facilities and limits reimbursement rates to 150% of Medicare payments or negotiated rates with health benefit plans. The bill also requires health care contracts to include provisions against excessive reimbursements and facility fees. Non-compliant providers may face penalties. The Health Care Cost Containment Council oversees enforcement and can audit providers for compliance.
