House Bill 4349 would amend Part 215 (Hospitals) of the Public Health Code to incorporate into Michigan law five sections (45 CFR 180.20 through 180.60) of a federal rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services concerning hospital price transparency. The rule was issued in November 2019 and took effect January 1, 2021. It currently applies to all state-licensed hospitals in the United States. Under the rule, hospitals must publish their standard charges both as a comprehensive data file and as a more selective consumer-friendly list.
