  • Review and streamline existing transparency policies, including the hospital price transparency rule and No Surprises Act, with a primary objective of reducing potential patient confusion and unnecessary regulatory burden on providers.
  • Continue to convene providers, payers and patients for input on how to make federal price transparency as patient-centered as possible. 
  • Refrain from advancing additional legislation or regulations that may further confuse or complicate providers’ ability to provide meaningful price estimates while adding unnecessary costs to the health care system.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
