A team of healthcare policy researchers has performed an analysis, contrasting the results of the federal hospital price reporting program with those of a voluntary ASC price disclosure program
A team of healthcare policy researchers has researched the results of the federal hospital price reporting program and found it to be highly problematic; in contrast, the researchers find that a relatively recent voluntary initiative among 11 ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) involving their posting actual charged prices, for price-sensitive healthcare consumers, shows promise.
The researchers—Ge Bai, Pavan Patel, Martin A. Makary, and David A. Hyman—share their findings in an article posted online in Health Affairs on April 19, entitled “Providing Useful Hospital Pricing Information To Patients: Lessons From Voluntary Price Disclosure.”
