19 July 2021 - The Biden administration is proposing to increase the penalty for hospitals that don't comply with a federal rule requiring them to publicly post the prices of their procedures.
A proposal released Monday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would raise the maximum penalty to $2 million a year for large hospitals that don't post online the secret prices they have negotiated with insurance companies for 300 common services and procedures that can be planned in advance.
