Concerning health system transparency; provider-based clinics that charge facility fees must provide a notice to patients receiving nonemergency services that informs the patient patient that the clinic is licensed as part of a hospital, and the patient may receive a separate billing for the facility component of a health care visit, which may result in a higher out-of-pocket expense.
