This bill streamlines hospital charge reporting requirements by clarifying that hospitals must report charge data annually to the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations and specifying what information must be included (discharge numbers, average costs, insurance payment details, etc.). The bill removes a separate requirement for the Association to develop a public web-based reporting system, though hospitals will still need to report the same information to the state health department under rules to be created.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
