HF 1312 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Facility fees for nonemergency services provided at provider-based clinics prohibited, facility fees for certain health care services prohibited, and report required.

HF 1312 prohibits hospitals and health systems from charging separate "facility fees" for nonemergency services at off-campus provider-based clinics (located at least 250 yards from main hospital buildings) and for specific services like outpatient evaluations. It directly affects patients receiving care at these clinics and hospitals that previously added such fees to professional service charges. The bill requires hospitals to submit annual reports by January 15, 2027, and each year after, detailing all facility fees charged, billed, and collected, including facility locations, patient visits, fee amounts, and revenue sources. These reports must be published publicly and include data on top procedures generating facility fee revenue.
