This bill would change federal law on health care price disclosure. In the text shown, hospitals would have to post their standard charges every month, including cash prices and the prices they have negotiated with each insurer and plan, in a format set by the Department of Health and Human Services. Similar posting rules would apply to many clinical labs, imaging providers, and hospital-owned surgery centers starting July 1, 2027. Health plans would have to post their in-network rates and payment data monthly starting January 1, 2027. Each requirement includes compliance reviews and daily civil fines for not complying. The committee version replaces this text with an amendment that is not shown here.
