MLN7215754 – Hospital Price Transparency
This revised Product comprises Subregulatory Guidance for hospital price transparency, and its content is based on publicly available content in the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule (45 CFR 180). CMS policy or operation subject matter experts also reviewed/cleared this product. This product educates hospitals on the hospital price transparency requirements. Every U.S. hospital must provide clear, accessible pricing information about the items and services they provide on a publicly available website in 2 ways: a comprehensive machine-readable file with all items and services, and a consumer-friendly display of shoppable services. CMS provides resources to help hospitals meet the price transparency requirements. CMS monitors and enforcements hospital compliance.
