According to an analysis by Turquoise Health, Wisconsin’s hospitals have earned the Badger State the highest transparency adherence marks in the nation.
This top ranking highlights the exceptional efforts of Wisconsin hospitals to provide patients with clear, accessible, and accurate information about the cost of care.
Since federal price transparency rules from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) took effect in 2021, not a single Wisconsin hospital has been fined for noncompliance.
Turquoise Health’s state-by-state analysis evaluated hospitals on their adherence to updated federal technical specifications, including the accessibility of machine-readable files.
Wisconsin’s hospitals outperformed all others, including those in states with additional, duplicative transparency laws.
