HB 1263 creates new rules requiring health insurers to provide patients with clear, upfront information about what they'll have to pay out-of-pocket for specific health care services, including deductibles and other cost-sharing amounts. The bill establishes definitions and standards for how insurers must calculate and communicate these costs to help patients understand their financial responsibility before receiving care.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
