Pricing Transparency:
Effective January 1, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has required all hospitals to make a list of their current standard charges available to the public. This includes a listing of all the standard charges for every service provided, including chargeable supplies/implants and pharmaceuticals.
