A bill requiring New Jersey for-profit hospitals to disclose their financial records publicly is headed to Gov. Chris Christie's desk, according to a Star-Ledger report.
The bill requires for profit-hospitals to post information about their investors, audits and other financial matters in an effort to make them more accountable.
Also, hospitals seeking a share of New Jersey's charity care funds to treat uninsured patients will need to disclose its sources of income, business holdings and salaries of its top executives. New Jersey's Department of Health and Senior Services will then post that information on its website.
