Introduced

SB 581 - Under this act, no contract provision between a health carrier and a health care provider shall be enforceable if such provision prohibits, conditions, or in any way restricts any party to such contract from disclosing to an enrollee, patient, or potential patient the contractual payment amount for a health care service if such payment amount is less than the health care provider's usual charge for the health care service, and if such contractual provision prevents the determination of the potential out-of-pocket cost for the health care service by the enrollee, patient, or potential patient.

This act is identical to SCS/SB 8 (2015) and substantially similar to a provision in SCS/SB 167 (2015), SB 847 (2014), SCS/SB 739 (2014), and HB 1793 (2014). This act is substantially similar to SB 307 (2013).
