Tennessee SB0403 amends healthcare cost regulations by defining "uncompensated care" as healthcare services for which no payment is received. It mandates that healthcare facilities accepting public funds for uncompensated care losses must designate an equal amount of outstanding patient debt as satisfied and prohibit legal action to collect this debt. Facilities must notify patients of this satisfaction and provide instructions for any remaining debt.
