Digest
HB 5289 requires health care providers to give written notice to patients at least 60 days before initiating debt collection for unpaid medical bills. The intent is to give patients adequate time to address their financial obligations before being sent to collections. The requirement applies only to debt collection actions initiated on or after the bill's effective date.
