Understanding Health Care Pricing Transparency

Due to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recently finalized new regulations regarding Price Transparency, hospitals must:

1. Publish a comprehensive machine readable file with pricing for all items and services, and
2. Display pricing for shoppable services in a consumer-friendly format

We are dedicated to providing price and cost information to our patients, as well as providing all of the required detailed information under the CMS rule. That includes publishing on our website a machine-readable file that complies with the CMS requirements but is not necessarily intended for direct patient interpretation. Machine-readable means the data can be imported or read into a computer system for further processing.
