In July, the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) proposed rules that would require all
Medicare-participating hospitals to post their negotiated prices for standard
health care services.
The proposed rule is intended to
increase pricing transparency and help consumers understand the charges they
may incur before receiving care.
These are just proposed
rules at the moment, which means no changes will be made effective until the
rules are finalized. The agency is currently asking for comments on the
proposed rule. The deadline for submitting comments is Sept. 27, 2019.
We
will continue to monitor and keep you updated on these developments.
