Judge Rules Against Hospitals In Price Transparency Lawsuit
On June 23, 2020, a federal district court judge upheld a federal rule that requires hospitals to publish their negotiated prices for services as part of a price transparency initiative. The American Hospital Association (AHA) and a group of hospital and trade association co-plaintiffs had challenged the rule, and filed a lawsuit alleging that the administration did not have the legal authority to require the publication of negotiated prices.
