Hospitals and insurers are required to post their negotiated prices for most health care services.
But the effect on patients’ costs is unclear.
Some proponents are lobbying Congress to include hospital and insurer price transparency in must-pass legislation before Trump takes office.
Some health policy experts think it’s unlikely the incoming Trump administration would reverse its commitment to price transparency.
The Department of Health and Human Services ’ inspector general said in November an audit of 100 hospitals found that 63 complied with the price transparency rule.
The advocacy group Patient Rights Advocate , which looked at a sample of 2,000 hospitals, says that only 21% were fully compliant.
