Expose Hospitals Violating Price Transparency Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create and maintain a publicly available list on the CMS website of hospitals that violate federal price transparency rules, including those fined, warned, or ordered to create corrective plans. It mandates full public disclosure of all related communications (like fines or warnings) without redaction under the Freedom of Information Act. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress on enforcement activities and a GAO report with recommendations on improving transparency, potentially including revoking tax-exempt status for noncompliant hospitals. This directly affects hospitals failing to publish standard prices for common services, aiming to increase accountability for patients seeking cost information.
