About Price Transparency
Hospitals are dedicated to being transparent about pricing, so consumers are empowered to make informed health care decisions. Hospitals are required by law to provide clear, accessible pricing information on their websites about the care and services they provide. This information helps consumers compare prices among hospitals to understand what the cost of their care will be before going to the hospital. Hospitals stand ready to answer any questions patients may have about the cost of their care.
