Patients Deserve Price Tags Act strengthens hospital and insurer price transparency.
The Patients Deserve Price Tags Act amends the Public Health Service Act to enhance hospital and insurer price transparency. It mandates hospitals to publicly disclose standard charges and prices for services, including imaging and laboratory tests, in a machine-readable format. Ambulatory surgical centers must also make public their standard charges and prices for shoppable services. The Act requires group health plans to provide itemized bills and explanations of benefits to participants, detailing charges and billing codes.
