Healthcare Price Transparency Rule Implementation Libraries

The Healthcare Price Transparency Rule took effect this year. The rule requires hospitals in the USA to post actual prices from the rates they offer cash-paying customers to costs negotiated with insurers. The Healthcare Price Transparency Rule could help reduce prices and keep consumers informed of their choices before seeking care. Hospitals must publicly post prices for every service, drug, and supply they provide on their website. The prices must be posted in a machine-readable format, and for 300 common and “shoppable” services, they must also be provided in consumer-friendly formats.

Over the next couple of years, such healthcare information exchange initiatives are expected to accelerate. The initiatives provide a substantial opportunity for digital healthcare and health-tech solutions. Healthcare digital transformations expected in the short term are Payer-to-Payer Data exchange, No Surprises Act, Prior Authorization rule, Transparency in Coverage. Critical to the success of these initiatives is the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) framework.
