Senate Bill 1684l is action packed with many items of interest particularly to Reference Based Pricing plans and includes, among other things, this:
Hospitals must list the gross charges for each health care service provided by the facility with the Medicare reimbursement amount for the health care service next to the relevant gross charges.
