Simplifying price transparency regulations: Everything specialty care hospitals need to know
On January 1, 2021, new regulations went into effect that required most hospitals in the United States to make their standard and negotiated prices available to the public. In April, members of Congress wrote to HSS encouraging stricter enforcement and oversight of this regulation. Hospitals now face a significant legal challenge as failure to comply with this new regulation can result in enforcement actions.
While enforcement ramps up, hospital providers are still struggling to understand most areas of the regulation including required standards for data, the types of “shoppable” services covered by the rule, and more.
In this webinar, experienced healthcare lawyers Thomas Barker and Ross Margulies, Partners in Foley Hoag LLP’s healthcare practice, will break down the rule, helping specialty care hospital providers understand what must be done to ensure compliance.
