Healthcare Legislation Must Enforce Hospital Price Transparency Rule
Last week, during the onset of the summer recess, the House Ways and Means Committee introduced a healthcare reform bill. Regrettably, this legislation lacks the same potential impact as the competing bill presented by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, known as the Patient Act. What are the shortcomings of this new bill? It falls short in incorporating comprehensive measures for price transparency that could result in significant savings for both individuals and employers. Notably absent are provisions that mandate hospitals to publicly disclose all their negotiated rates with health insurers, a requirement established by an existing hospital price transparency regulation, which the Patient Act reinforces and enhances.
