Bill overview
This bill aims to protect patients in New Jersey from being charged facility fees when receiving medical care at an outpatient facility connected to a hospital. It specifically prohibits hospitals from billing patients for a separate ‘facility fee’ that is intended to cover operational costs, distinct from the fees charged for the medical services themselves. The bill clarifies what constitutes a ‘facility fee’ and ensures patients are not unfairly charged for these expenses.
