This bill prohibits hospitals in New Jersey from billing patients for a facility fee when services are rendered at an outpatient facility affiliated with the hospital. A "facility fee" is defined as any fee charged by a hospital to cover its operational expenses, distinct from professional fees.

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