The Transparent PRICE Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 3281, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to increase transparency in healthcare pricing for consumers.
The bill requires hospitals to disclose the prices they charge for their services, including the negotiated rates with insurance companies. This information would be made available to the public in a user-friendly format, allowing patients to compare prices and make more informed decisions about their healthcare.
Additionally, the Transparent PRICE Act aims to prevent surprise medical bills by requiring healthcare providers to give patients an estimate of the cost of their services before they are provided. This would help patients avoid unexpected expenses and better plan for their healthcare needs.
Overall, the Transparent PRICE Act seeks to empower consumers by providing them with more information about healthcare costs and helping them make more informed decisions about their medical care.
