Plain-English Summary

Healthcare providers would be required to publicly display prices for common medical services and procedures so patients can see costs upfront before receiving care. This would let patients compare prices between different hospitals and clinics, similar to how you can compare prices when shopping for other services. The rule would apply to doctors' offices, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities across the country.
