A.R.S. § 36-436.01

Rate schedules; printing and posting requirements; outpatient treatment centers; posting and filing requirements

The rate schedule required under A.R.S. § 36-436 to be printed and must contain a list of all services performed and commodities furnished for which a separate charge is made, with the charges for each.  The schedule must note any rules or regulations that may change or affect in any way the rates or charges.  Hospitals are also required to note when a separate charged would be imposed for services performed or commodities furnished for each item listed. 

Once the Director reviews the schedule, it must be conspicuously posted in the hospital’s reception area and in the hospital’s outpatient treatment centers or nursing care institutions.  Another copy must be kept in the reception area to be available for public inspection upon request.  Licensed health care facilities classified as outpatient treatment centers and home health agencies must file a copy of the schedule with the Director before implementing those rates and charges.
