HOSPITALS – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding maternity price transparency and disclosure.

Idaho's S 1315 requires hospitals licensed to provide labor and delivery services to display comprehensive, transparent pricing for maternity care. Specifically, these hospitals must create single-click access on their public price estimator portals for both vaginal and cesarean birth episodes, showing all-inclusive costs for standard care (including antepartum, delivery, and postpartum services) plus common add-on fees like epidurals or circumcision. The bill also prohibits hospitals from including contract clauses that block discounted cash prices for labor and delivery services below insurance rates. This law applies to all Idaho hospitals offering maternity care and takes effect July 1, 2026.
