CMS states hospitals must provide clear, accessible online pricing information, that CMS audits hospitals and investigates complaints, and that enforcement of new and updated 2026 hospital price-transparency requirements started April 1, 2026.

Federal hospital price-transparency requirements and enforcement mechanisms are active, including 2026 updates, but this is agency implementation rather than passage of Burlison's bill.

CMS states most group health plans and issuers are required to disclose pricing information, including in-network rates and allowed amounts, and that CMS may require corrective action or impose civil money penalties for noncompliance.
