Colorado lawmakers are introducing a bill that would require freestanding emergency rooms and urgent cares to disclose pricing to patients right away, according to a KREX report.
The bill, S.B. 18-146, would ensure freestanding ERs are immediately transparent with patients about cost and treatment options and whether or not they accept insurance.
These ERs would also have to post the prices of the 25 most common nonemergency procedures inside the facility if the bill passes.
