Senate Bill 1984, introduced in the New Jersey Senate on January 9, 2024, and amended on May 9, 2024, would require hospitals to publish a list of standard charges for certain items and services. The Bill would require the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to evaluate whether a hospital has complied with the Bill’s requirements and if deficient the DOH may take any of the following actions: 1) provide a written warning notice to a hospital of a specific violation; 2) request a corrective action plan; or 3) impose a civil monetary penalty. The amended Bill seeks to make the requirements mirror the requirements imposed by the federal hospital transparency requirements under 45 C.F.R. Part 180.
