Bill SB 350
SEC. 5. Section 127440 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
127440. The hospital shall reimburse the patient or patients any
amount actually paid in excess of the amount due under this article,
including interest. Interest owed by the hospital to the patient
shall accrue at the rate set forth in Section 685.010 of the Code of
Civil Procedure, beginning on the date payment by the patient is
received by the hospital. However, a hospital is not required to
reimburse the patient or pay interest if the amount due is less than
five dollars ($5.00). The hospital shall give the patient a credit
for the amount due for at least 60 days from the date the amount is
due.
