September 15, 2022 · 7:00 AM Not the offending hospital I’ve long been an advocate for price transparency in healthcare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (aka CMS) has recently taken action that requires hospitals to post their prices online, which should boost competition and help you shop around to save money. If memory serves, the price posting only applies to a limited number of services. I presume the rare hospitals that don’t accept Medicare and Medicaid payments are exempt. From MedPage Today: This week [June 2022], CMS handed down their first penalties to two hospitals in Georgia for…
