SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health care data reporting. Revises the fee structure for processing, verification, and dissemination of reported health care data. The limitation on the Board's authority to prescribe a reasonable fee that does not exceed one dollar per discharge is removed. The Board continues to be authorized to prescribe a reasonable fee for each affected health care provider to cover the costs of the reasonable expenses of establishing and administering the data processing methodology and to establish a tiered-fee structure. The nonprofit organization's authorization to charge and collect fees prescribed by the Board and to charge a fee of up to one dollar for records that it determines are not processed, verified data is removed. A specific prohibition against the nonprofit organization assessing any fee against any health care provider that submits processed, verified, and timely data is stated. The Board of Health is required to establish penalties for submission of data in a manner that is inconsistent with its standards. The requirement for the Board to maintain records of its activities; collect and account for all fees and deposit the moneys in a special fund; and enforce all regulations is moved to a new subsection.
