Why medical bills in South Carolina may look longer next year

Novant Health Bill (WSOC)

SOUTH CAROLINA — Next year, medical bills in South Carolina may look a little longer.

Starting in January, hospitals and healthcare facilities will be required to give patients itemized bills, in writing and electronically.

This is part of a push by York County state representative health sessions to bring patients more transparency.

Bills will have to clearly state what the patient owes, and the amount being sought by insurance.
