Relating to provision to a patient of an itemized bill for health care services and supplies.

SB 1269 requires Texas health care providers to offer patients an itemized bill for services and supplies through three methods: electronically via a patient portal, by mail, or as a hard copy obtained in person at the provider's office. Patients can request a copy of this bill at any time after it's first issued and choose their preferred delivery method. The bill updates existing rules under the Health and Safety Code and takes effect September 1, 2025. It directly affects patients receiving health care services and the providers who bill them, focusing on improving access to clear billing information.
