Part E of title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300gg–131 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new section: Beginning January 1, 2026, each health care provider and health care facility shall disclose to patients and prospective patients enrolled in a group health plan, group or individual health insurance coverage, or a Federal health care program (as defined in section 1128B but including the program established under chapter 89 of title 5, United States Code) being furnished or seeking to be furnished an item or service by such provider or facility for which benefits are available under such plan, coverage, or program, as applicable, whether the amount of cost sharing (including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance) that would be incurred by such individual for such item or service under such plan, coverage, or program, as applicable, exceeds the charge that would apply for such item or service for an individual without benefits under any such plan, coverage, or program for such item or service.
In addition to any other penalty applicable with respect to a violation of subsection (a), an individual who is harmed by a violation of this section by a health care provider or health care facility may bring an action against such provider or facility in an appropriate district court of the United States for— appropriate injunctive relief; and damages in an amount that is equal to the amount provided for such harm in a civil action under the law of the State in which the provider or facility is located. .
