Better hospital price transparency: A conversation with Florida Governor Rick Scott

Hospital prices vary widely, among different payers, within market areas, and across services categories. The actual price is very hard to discover in advance and is often unrelated to the quality of care. Patients who are uninsured, covered under high-deductible plans, or receiving out-of-network care are particularly vulnerable to being billed at much higher “list” prices. Join AEI as Florida Governor Rick Scott, a former hospital industry executive, outlines his proposal to provide more transparent information to consumers about the prices hospitals charge and the quality of care they deliver. An expert panel will then examine public policy issues involving information transparency, price disclosure, and consumer protection for hospital services.
