The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) alerted hospitals that the agency is planning a more systematic monitoring and enforcement approach to non-compliance with the Hospital Price Transparency requirements and, consistent with current policies, non-compliance will be addressed with swift enforcement. CMS posted a list of enforcement actions to date as well as a Hospital Price Transparency Enforcement Activities and Outcomes dataset with information related to enforcement actions taken by CMS. All hospitals, including Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Emergency Hospitals, and hospital-based departments, which may include some Rural Health Clinics, are required to post their standard charges prominently on a publicly available website.
