SB 889 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Hospitals; requiring hospitals to make public certain file and list; authorizing compliance monitoring and enforcement; prohibiting certain collection actions. Effective date.

SB 889 requires Oklahoma hospitals to publicly post detailed pricing information for all services they provide. Specifically, hospitals must publish a machine-readable digital file containing standard charges (including gross charges, negotiated rates with insurers, and cash prices) for every item or service, updated annually. They must also create a consumer-friendly list for common "shoppable" services like checkups. This law directly affects all licensed Oklahoma hospitals and state-owned healthcare facilities, aiming to help patients compare costs transparently before receiving care.
