Six months after finding only 5.6% of hospitals were in line with major price transparency requirements, an updated analysis from PatientRightsAdvocate.org found hospitals’ compliance has increased to just 14.3%—with the country’s largest health systems serving as the worst offenders.
According to the report, only 0.5% of hospitals owned by CommonSpirit Health, Ascension and HCA Healthcare met the federal requirements. For-profit HCA, the largest of the three, was found by the group to fall short across every one of its 188 hospitals.
