Transparent billing:
This would require hospitals to provide itemized lists of all products and services and each price of said service and item used during visits that was used for the pacients care.
Publicly Displayed Costs:
All hospitals should be required to show how much each prosedure, service, tool, and/or item that can be used and billed to a patient. This would reinforce the “Transparent Billing” as patients and insurance companies could go through a bill and then compare price to displayed prices.
The intent:
This is to provide not only competitive pricing between hospitals and to hopfuly stop price manipulation behind the scenes. As well as to prevemt people from getting slapped with unexspected bill prices.
I do beleive that any buisness that makes money buy selling a product or service should have a set price listed. A set price can be a rate(ex:15$/hr). But i beleive should be easly found and desplayed
