An Act to Protect Patients from Health Care Discrimination and Guarantee Access to the Lowest Available Cost for Care

This bill prevents healthcare providers from denying services based on a patient's insurance status or method of payment. It requires providers to disclose discounted cash prices upon request and to offer free itemized bills. For uninsured patients, the bill mandates that charges for services cannot exceed the lower of what Medicare would pay or the lowest amount payable under the provider's other contracts.
