Cal. Health & Safety Code § 127445 — Hospital Fair Pricing Policies is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the amounts paid by parties for services resulting from reduced or waived charges under a hospital’s discounted payment or charity care policy shall not constitute a hospital’s uniform, published, prevailing, or customary charges, its usual fees to the general public, or its charges to non-Medi-Cal purchasers under comparable circumstances, and shall not be used to calculate a hospital’s median non-Medicare or Medi-Cal charges, for purposes of any payment limit under the federal Medicare Program, the Medi-Cal program, or any other federal or state-financed health care program.
