SB 414 - Beginning July 1, 2010, any hospital that reports a reportable incident shall not charge for or bill any entity for all services related to the reportable incident, as such incidents are identified by the National Quality Forum. Such events include wrong-site surgery, retention of a foreign object in a patient after surgery, and death or serious disability associated with medication error. This act is similar to a provision in HB 497 (2009) and to a provision in SB 1283 (2008). ADRIANE CROUSE
