When it comes to requiring health care prices to be made public, only five states adequately make the information transparent to consumers.
The third annual report from the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute and Catalyst for Payment Reform shows little progress is being made despite what seems to be more activity in state legislatures discussing the need for price information, particularly at a time more Americans are gaining health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Forty-five of 50 states fail when it comes to disclosing health care price information to the public, the report says.
