Developing a Pricing Strategy for the 2019 CMS Transparency Requirement On-Demand Webinar (10/30/2018)
The push for health care price transparency is nothing new and can be traced back almost 15 years. When CMS released their final 2019 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rules including "requirements for hospitals to make public, a list of their standard charges via the internet," it further underscored CMS' continued effort for hospitals and health systems to provide price transparency.
This webinar will provide a brief background on pricing transparency issues for hospitals and health systems and then will take a deeper dive into what actions organizations can take to prepare for the CMS price transparency requirements that are effective January 1, 2019.
Finally, we will provide a checklist of recommended steps to ensure your facility is ready for the 2019 IPPS Price Transparency regulation.
