What changed
Wyoming passed SF0057, a new law requiring all hospitals operating in the state to publicly list prices for medical items and services. The Department of Health is designated as the monitoring and enforcement authority, with penalty provisions for non-compliance. The bill underwent multiple amendments through Senate and House committees, including Committee Amendments SF0057SS001, SF0057HS001, and Floor Amendments SF0057H2001, SF0057H3001 before final passage.
Hospitals should immediately review current pricing disclosure practices and begin implementing systems to comply with the new transparency requirements. The Department of Health will issue rules and the bill includes a sunset date, suggesting a defined compliance period. Entities should monitor for Department of Health rulemaking to determine specific formatting and accessibility requirements for price listings.
