  • A new report found that several hospitals are violating a requirement to post the prices for common goods and services online. The report, published by consumer advocacy group PatientRightsAdvocates.org, compared 20 price disclosures made by hospitals and health insurers in accordance with the Hospital Price Transparency Rule and the Transparency in Coverage (“TiC”) Rule. The group discovered several instances in which prices were omitted from the hospital files but appeared in the insurance company files, indicating that some large hospitals are not posting their complete price lists as required by the hospital price transparency rule.
