Amend CSSB 1738 in SECTION 2, page 3, line 42-46, strike the following: "(c) Before any nonemergency treatment or service is performed and before a consumer is discharged from a facility, the facility shall disclose to the consumer the consumer's right to receive a written estimate of the charges for any procedure, service, or supply." and replace with the following: "(c) The facility shall provide a written estimate of the facility's charges for any procedure, service, or supply upon request and before an elective admission or scheduling of nonemergency outpatient procedures or services. The written estimate must be provided within a reasonable time based on the number of charge estimates requested and whether the request was made during normal operating hours of the facility's business office. The facility must advise the consumer that: (1) the request for a written estimate of charges may result in a delay in the scheduling and provision of the procedure, service, or supply; and (2) the consumer may be personally liable for payment of the procedure, service or supply depending on the consumer's health benefit plan coverage."
