This bill establishes a prohibition against hospitals in New Jersey from billing patients for facility fees associated with services provided at outpatient facilities that are affiliated with the hospital. A "facility fee" is defined in the bill as any fee charged by a hospital to cover its operational expenses, which is separate from professional fees.

The legislation aims to protect patients from additional financial burdens when receiving care at outpatient facilities, ensuring that they are not charged for facility fees in addition to any professional fees for services rendered. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
