Didn’t he also sign an Executive Order dealing with revealing the costs of medications?
In an executive order issued Monday, Trump ordered the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies to develop rules that will require hospitals and other health care providers to disclose prices to show what both the insurer and the patient will pay for a service.
The new rules would also force health care providers and insurers to tell patients exactly what their out-of-pocket costs would be before any service is provided.
“Everyday American patients are being taken advantage of by a system that hides critical information from them that they need to make decisions for them and their families,” Azar said. He added that knowing the cost of service beforehand means Americans would be able to comparison shop — just like they might when getting their cars fixed.
Also says they will work to stop “surprise billing” where you find out weeks or months later that your insurance won’t pay.
