Public List of Hospitals Violating Healthcare Price Transparency Rules.
This law requires the government to establish and maintain a public list of hospitals that fail to comply with mandatory price transparency rules. This measure allows citizens to easily identify facilities that are hiding healthcare costs, promoting informed decision-making and increasing accountability in the healthcare market. The law also mandates a review of potential penalties, including revoking tax-exempt status for persistent violators.
Key points
HHS must create a public list of hospitals that have received penalties, warnings, or corrective action requests for not disclosing prices.
All enforcement communications and penalties issued to non-compliant hospitals must be fully disclosed to the public without redaction.
The government will study recommendations to increase financial penalties and potentially revoke the tax-exempt status of hospitals that repeatedly violate price transparency rules.
