A new PatientRightsAdvocate.org (PRA) report found that only one-third (34.5%) of hospitals were fully
compliant with the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Of the 2,000 hospitals that were reviewed nationwide, only 689 were fully compliant. The latest results were virtually unchanged from last year’s, with 36% in compliance.
“Employer and union plans can use pricing and claims data to improve their plan designs and direct members to lower cost, high-quality facilities. However, continued noncompliance impedes this ability.”
