THE BILL · S. 2355BILL PAGE →
Patients Deserve Price Tags Act
This bill makes hospitals tell you exactly what things cost upfront. They'd have to publish prices for everything, including what they charge people paying cash and what they've agreed to with different insurance companies, so you can easily compare prices. This is meant to help you shop around and know the price before you get a medical service.
