Fewer than 6 percent of hospitals are fully compliant with the Hospital Pricing Transparency Law, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association published June 7.
Researchers collected data from 5,239 hospitals six to nine months after the law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2021, according to the report. They found 5.7 percent were fully compliant, meaning they had both an adherent machine readable file and adherent shoppable display.
