Beware of enforcement action by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for noncompliance of the Hospital Transparency Rule which took effect January 2021. The rule requires hospitals to make public—in machine readable files—prices for certain items and services. Failure to comply could result in fines as in the case of two Georgia hospitals. Make no mistake. CMS is laying down the law. Reporting our lead story during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays will be Govind Goyal, Executive Vice President at Panacea Healthcare Solutions, and a subject matter expert on Hospital Price Transparency Rule.
