Issues

Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

The plaintiffs challenge price transparency regulations requiring health insurers to disclose internal pricing data and negotiated rates in a machine-readable format as violating the Administrative Procedure Act. Broad health care transparency and disclosure measures can help facilitate more informed health care decisions for consumers, promote higher value care, and potentially lower health care prices.


Potential Impact:

Preventing the federal government from crafting price transparency regulations and promoting greater public disclosure could lead to consumers losing a valuable tool to make informed decisions and potentially face higher health care prices.
