OKLAHOMA: Governor Stitt Signs Hospital Price Transparency Bill
Today, PatientRightsAdvocate.org released the following statement applauding Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt for signing S.B. 889 into law.
“Thanks to Governor Stitt signing S.B. 889 into law, real price transparency and accountability are on the way for Oklahoma's healthcare system. Actual upfront prices will protect patients from overcharges, end surprise billing, and empower all healthcare consumers to shop for the best care at the lowest price. We applaud Governor Stitt and this new law's legislative sponsors for their outstanding leadership toward a more free and functional healthcare marketplace that will lower costs for Oklahomans. We appreciate the governor's commitment to fully enforcing the law when it goes into effect in November and look forward to seeing the state serve as a model for transformational reform.”
