Georgia itemized hospital bill after discharge

Under Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act, a hospital or long-term care facility must deliver to a discharged inpatient (or their legal representative) an itemized statement of all charges for which the patient or a third-party payor is being billed, no later than six business days after discharge; failing to do so is designated an unlawful practice enforceable by the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.

អ្វីដែលអ្នកអាចធ្វើបាន៖ If you were an inpatient and did not receive an itemized statement within six business days of discharge, send a written request citing O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393(b)(14); if it is not provided, you may file a complaint with the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
