This month, CMS begins auditing a sample of hospitals for compliance with price transparency rule. The rule, effective January 1, requires all United States hospitals to provide publicly available charge information about services offered. While there has been much pushback from hospitals for the rule thus far, CMS still urges hospitals to comply with the price transparency rule.
Tip of the week
On January 12, CMS updated a COVID-19 Vaccine Enrollment webpage with new links to information on state government distribution of vaccines and COVID-19 vaccine progress. The page also includes helpful information on what providers should know about enrollment and vaccine administration.
