Given “no hospitals have been penalized as of late December, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is responsible for enforcing the rules,” this comes close to dereliction of duty by CMMS. That said, that hospital’s spokesperson said they will be in compliance by the New Year, so maybe this is just a work in progress.
The price transparency rules became effective on January 1st 2021. A change like this will always take time for everybody to implement. But, I agree. If CMMS doesn't penalize non-compliance hospitals will drag their feet indefinitely.
