Slowly, state laws requiring price transparency for health care-related costs are beginning to work. However, much room for progress remains, as can be seen in the results of the fourth annual state pricing transparency survey.
The survey was produced by the nonprofit health policy tandem of the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute and the Catalyst for Payment Reform. Their report card grades states on a variety of metrics, analyzing their transparency laws for both scope and ease of implementation.
The report notes that the laws are often much stronger in theory than in execution, a major obstacle to achieving true national health care price transparency.
