Relating to itemized billing for health care services and supplies provided by health care providers.

SB 1270 requires health care providers in Texas to send itemized bills electronically through patient portals, but if a patient hasn't created a portal account, the provider must mail a physical copy of the bill. This applies to all health care providers (like hospitals and clinics) billing patients for services or supplies. The law mandates providers check whether patients have portal profiles before sending electronic bills, ensuring patients without online access still receive paper copies. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to bills issued on or after that date. The bill does not change billing content but standardizes delivery methods to improve accessibility.
