    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on how proposed federal regulations would make it easier for patients to comparison shop for health care services, but some argue that the new rules could create heavy administrative burdens on health plans. Topics inlcude the individual states have made efforts to require disclosure of pricing information, and the self-insured health plans have implemented price transparency tools to incentivize patients to consider cost in making health care decisions.
