Disruptive Dialogue with Chuck Melendi

Hospital Price Transparency: A Rule Passed, Ignored, and Rarely Enforced


Listen Later

How can hospitals break the law for years, while patients still pay the price?

In this episode of Disruptive Dialogue, healthcare insider Chuck Melendi exposes the TRUTH behind the 2021 Hospital Price Transparency Rule and why it’s been basically ignored over the past 5 years.

Despite thousands of hospitals being out of compliance, ONLY 27 have been fined in four years. Chuck breaks down how weak enforcement, meaningless penalties, and industry consolidation keep real prices hidden from patients.

More importantly, Chuck shares SOLUTIONS that would actually work: tying hospital payments to compliance, standardizing prices around Medicare rates, enforcing price-gouging laws, and removing repeat offenders from Medicare.
