House Bill (HB) 23-1215 – Limits on Hospital Facility Fees
A facility fee is a charge that hospitals or health systems bill for outpatient services that is intended to compensate the hospital or health system for its operational expenses. These charges are separate and distinct from the professional fee charged or billed by a healthcare provider for professional services.
Per the Colorado Hospital Association, facility fees are best described as “care-team fees” – they pay for all of the people other than the doctors involved in care provided in outpatient clinics. Facility fee amounts can vary based on the services rendered during the visit and based on the patient’s insurance status.
After July 1st, 2024, this legislation prohibits charging, billing, or collecting a facility fee from patients if it is not covered by their health insurance for preventative health-care services provided in an outpatient setting.
