By iHeartMedia's Corey Olson Mar 15, 2021 Amidst all the controversy over the presidential election and transition, a new law quietly took effect at the start of this year, the Federal Price Transparency Rule. It requires hospitals to publicly disclose the standard prices of services and items they offer. But more than two months after the new rule took effect, most hospitals are still not abiding by it. The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) created a Price Transparency Compliance Index to see how hospitals are complying with the new law on a state-by-state basis. The index finds only 46% of Texas hospitals have complied so far, and only one-third of hospitals nationwide are in compliance.
