Abstract

This study describes United States (US) pediatric hospitals' compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid price transparency rule. The price transparency rule was intended to make healthcare costs more transparent for patients and families to aid in informed decisions and help avoid unexpected charges. The price transparency rule consists of two parts: (1) a standard charge file, and (2) “shoppable services.” Using hospital websites accessed through the Children's Hospital Association during January and February 2023, we found that only 48.7% of US pediatric hospitals were fully compliant with all required components despite implementation of this rule nearly 3 years ago.

美国儿科医院遵守价格透明规则的情况。

本研究描述了美国儿科医院遵守医疗保险和医疗补助中心价格透明规则的情况。价格透明规则旨在使医疗费用对患者和家属更加透明，以帮助他们做出明智的决定，并有助于避免意外收费。价格透明规则由两部分组成：（1）标准收费文件；（2）"可购物服务"。通过儿童医院协会在 2023 年 1 月和 2 月期间访问的医院网站，我们发现尽管该规则已实施近 3 年，但只有 48.7% 的美国儿科医院完全符合所有要求的内容。
