Hospitals not complying with pricing transparency rules

Most of the nation's hospitals are not in full compliance with the price disclosure rule mandated in 2021 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, PatientsRightsAdvocate.org has found, according to Healthcare Finance. Since the rule's Jan. 1 implementation, only 6% of 500 hospitals surveyed are fully compliant, the group says. Eighty percent of hospitals didn't publish payer-specific negotiated charges, while 52% did not publish any negotiated rates at all.
