In a big step towards more consumer pricing transparency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services(CMS) issued updated guidelines on August 2nd which will require more user-friendly electronic disclosure of hospital charges. Will be interesting to see how the government and/or third party vendors aggregate this data and make it available to consumers for comparison shopping of hospital fees.
