Here are three things to know about the upcoming legislative updates:
1. Starting in 2025, hospitals and other stakeholders must provide additional data elements to increase transparency.
2. Among the additional data are “estimated allowed amount,” “drug unit of measurement” and “modifiers.”
3. The “estimated allowed amount” refers to the average dollar amount a hospital historically receives for an item or service, according to a Pharmacy Times report published Sept. 6. This data must now be included in machine-readable files.
