Health Care Review Interim Committee Billing Study

The bill tasks the statewide health care review interim committee with studying health-care billing practices across the state during the 2025 interim to:

• Deduce whether patients across the state are receiving timely billing for health-care services, and if not, determine why; and
• Consider potential legislative changes to ensure that patients across the state are guaranteed timely billing for health-care services.

The committee may meet up to 4 times during the 2025 interim to complete this study and must, within 90 days after their final meeting during the 2025 interim , submit to the legislative committees with jurisdiction over health matters a report that contains:

• A brief recap of the committee's meetings;
• The committee's findings; and
• Recommendations, if any, regarding legislative measures that may be taken to improve health-care billing practices to ensure that patients receive timely billing for health-care services.
