The Health Code is hereby amended by revising Article 3 Section 128 to determine and fix the proper reasonable amounts to be charged to persons for services furnished by the Department of Public Health which rates shall be effective for services delivered as of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025.

New patient rates are proposed for various services provided by the Department of Public Health which include General Clinic, Diagnostic Radiology, Clinical Lab, Anatomic Pathology, In-Patient Care, Surgical Services, among others. The rates are detailed for services from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.

This change will impact the rates charged for patient services in the San Francisco Health Network, including Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, Laguna Honda Hospital, and a network of Community Primary Care Clinics. Special Price Lists, which are subject to change by the Director of Health, will reflect these new rates.

The rates are determined and fixed by the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco and are considered proper and reasonable amounts to be charged for services.

The ordinance is amended in committee and presented to the Budget and Appropriations Committee as well as to the Board of Supervisors for review and approval.

Rates are subject to change by the Director of Health based on procurement costs of the individual supplies and medications, posted on the California Department of Health Care Access and Information website.
