The Health Care PRICE Transparency Act 2.0, which expands price transparency requirements to ASCs, clinical diagnostic labs and imaging centers, would require all negotiated rates and cash prices to be accessible. It would also require actual prices for 300 shoppable services to be published, with all services’ prices published by 2025, and increase maximum annual penalties to $10 million000.

The bill is backed by Mr. Braun, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and New Mexico Sen. Tina Smith.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
