On August 11, 2021, from 2:00 pm–3:30 pm, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a webinar on Price Transparency focusing on how hospitals can meet the requirements that were included in the Hospital Price Transparency final rule for posting standard charge information in the comprehensive machine-readable file.

Effective January 1, 2021, each hospital operating in the United States is now required to provide publicly accessible standard charge information online about the items and services they provide in two ways:

  • Comprehensive machine-readable file with all items and services
  • Display of 300 shoppable services in a consumer-friendly format

CMS will also review the document, “8 Steps to a Machine-Readable File of All Items & Services,” and highlight specific good and bad examples of hospital compliance.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to remind hospitals about the final rule that established requirements for hospitals to establish, update, and make public a list of their standard charges for the items and services that they provide. The goal for these actions is to promote price transparency in healthcare and public access to hospital standard charges. This requirement becomes effective on January 1, 2021. The pricing information can be provided in two ways:

  • Comprehensive machine-readable file with all items and services
  • Display of shoppable services in a consumer-friendly format

CMS has developed the following resources for providers to utilize to prepare and ensure they are compliant:
