1. New Hampshire is the only state to receive an ‘A’ grade in the report card.
2. Colorado and Maine received ‘B’ grades; and Vermont and Virginia received ‘C’ grades.
3. All other states received an ‘F’ grade.
4. Grades are assigned based on scores that states earn. States can earn a total of 150 points after their price transparency laws and legislated price transparency websites are examined.
5. Massachusetts, which has in the past received high grades, was given an ‘F’ grade this year due to the loss of its government-mandated price transparency website.
