most contracts contain multiple reimbursement methodologies; and prices for the same service vary significantly within and across hospitals. @AJMC_Journal @HilltopInstitut @UMBC #hospitals #prices #contracting (3/3)

[Morgan Henderson @morghend]

Together with @MorganeMouslim, we analyzed contracts for 10 hospitals across the country. Key takeaways: hospitals negotiate contracts with many payers; contract structure differs significantly across payers within a hospital; (2/3)

[Morgan Henderson @morghend]

The hospital price transparency rule has been in effect for 3 years. While compliance appears to be rising, some of these new data files can shed light on an important - and largely unexamined - facet of our health financing system: hospital-insurer contracting. (1/3)

In our next #JournalClub mtg on, “#Hospital & Regional Characteristics Associated W/ Emergency Department Facility Fee Cash Pricing,” authors @morghend & @MorganeMouslim of @UMBC will join host @MScottGerber for discussion of their paper. Tune in tomorrow. https://t.co/ivlvfad3Za

What correlates with higher emergency room facility fees for self-pay patients? For-profit status and larger bed size, for starters. Read our (@MorganeMouslim) new study in @Health_Affairs for full story @UMBC @HilltopInstitut

In their new blog, @MorganeMouslim + @morghend from @JohnsHopkinsEPI + @UMBC discuss how availability of discounted cash price data should also inform policy efforts regarding hospital pricing for the uninsured and underinsured. https://t.co/TrpP14PfuZ

@MorganeMouslim Thanks @MorganeMouslim! The scores have been live in Maryland since October 2019, and the scores currently cover over 400,000 individuals.

@MorganeMouslim and I explore some of the challenges facing @CMSGov's new hospital price transparency regulation in our new piece @UMBC @ConversationUS #healthcare #price #transparency

[The Conversation U.S. @ConversationUS]

Health researchers hope a new regulation requiring hospitals to post their prices will tame soaring health care costs, but compliance and standardization are hurdles (via @UMBC) https://t.co/5tv9anOGCw

Recently, @MorganeMouslim and I teamed up with @sarahkliff, @jshkatz, and @adamplayford from @nytimes to do a deep-dive on hospital pricing. The story (linked below) was released a few days ago. #hospital #price #transparency https://t.co/CWGXcCqjKV

CMS compelled hospitals Jan. 1 to publish "a machine-readable file" of rates they negotiated with payers. But 65 of 100 of the largest U.S. hospitals did not meet the criteria as of early February. https://t.co/bF4wFB4vpd

Of the 100 largest facilities in the U.S., 65 were noncompliant with the requirement to post negotiated rates with insurers online, a rule that went into effect Jan. 1 despite fierce opposition from the hospital lobby.https://t.co/44lZOHfbag

In their new blog post, Morgan Henderson and @MorganeMouslim of @HilltopInstitut assess early hospital compliance with @CMSGov's initiative on hospital price #transparency and discuss the implications for the future of #healthcare pricing transparency. https://t.co/Gbxr91rq3j

@mhshospitals Per 45 CFR 180, as of 1/1/21 all hospitals are supposed to publish standard charges, which include the payer-specific negotiated rates for all items and services. I can't find them on your website - can you please direct me to them? @CMSGov @SeemaCMS

[Morgan Henderson @morghend]

@BJC_HealthCare Per 45 CFR 180.50, all hospitals are supposed to publish standard charges, which are the payer-specific negotiated rates for all items and services. I can't find them on your website - can you please direct me to them? @CMSGov @SeemaCMS
