ABSTRACT
As of January 2021, among other transparency requirements, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services require that hospitals publish consumer-friendly displays of charges for shoppable health care services, including four musculoskeletal imaging examinations. Of 250 selected U.S. hospitals, all published charges for these four examinations, although 21% did not provide charges within consumer-friendly displays. Bed count was larger for compliant hospitals than for noncompliant hospitals (500 vs 384 beds). All four examinations had widely variable charges (representing a 73.8-fold difference).
