Correct Error in Self-Pay Estimate Statute

Clarified that the $400 cap applies to the amount exceeding the self-pay estimate, not the total healthcare service cost.

Removed 'whichever is less' language from the emergency/unforeseen circumstances exception, as that comparison is no longer applicable.

Clarified the cost limit language in C.R.S. 25-49-106(1)(b)(I) to resolve conflicting provisions about the fifteen percent or four hundred dollar threshold for self-pay estimates.

Updated formatting and signature lines to reflect final legislative action with proper spacing and official signatures from House and Senate leadership.

Changed the cap on final cost from a flat $400 maximum to $400 more than the estimated cost, ensuring the threshold scales with the service price rather than capping total charges.

Removed the 'whichever is less' language from the emergency exception, allowing costs to exceed both the 15% and $400 thresholds when medical emergencies or unforeseen necessary services occur.

Added two new sponsors to the bill: Duran and English.
