Multiple GA hospitals accused of not complying with Price Transparency Rule

Since 2021, the Hospital Price Transparency Rule has required hospitals to make their pricing information publicly available. This allows patients to shop around for the best price for their medical services. On today’s edition of “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we hear from an advocacy group that claims that of the 2000 hospitals that were reviewed nationwide, 36 hospitals in Georgia are reportedly not sharing their pricing information. We also hear a rebuttal from an association that claims hospitals in Georgia are compliant with the rule and calls the Patients Rights Advocate report “irresponsible.”

Guests include:

Cynthia Fisher, the founder and chairwoman of Patients Rights Advocate

Brad Dennison, the director of Healthcare Finance Policy at the Healthcare Financial Management Association

Shawn Stack, the director of Editorial and Policy Affairs at the Healthcare Financial Management Association
