Prices on the Wall Act of 2026

This bill would require hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, laboratories, and providers of imaging services in the United States to post prices on their walls starting January 1, 2028. They would post the cash price for each "shoppable" service named by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, meaning services a patient can schedule in advance. If no discounted cash price exists, hospitals and surgical centers would post the median cash price charged to self-pay patients over the past 3 years, and labs and imaging providers would post their gross charge. The Secretary would decide which areas of each facility the prices must be posted in.
