Provides that every medical office, health care clinic, group practice, or other organizational structure for a licensed professional to provide health care services shall: (1) provide a notice stating that the patient may be billed for multiple services, including a separate office visit charge or billing for diagnostic testing or follow up, if acute complaints or chronic problems that require additional evaluation are discussed during a preventive or wellness visit and (2) make, except in an emergency treatment situation, a good faith effort to obtain written acknowledgment of receipt of the notice.
