The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has written to more than 500 hospitals, warning them that they are failing to meet federal requirements for price transparency.

The letter warns hospitals that they are at risk of fines if they do not publicly provide more and better price information.  Some have been told they must submit improvement plans.

CMS’s view is that the lack of price transparency prevents consumers from comparing hospitals’ prices for services.
