Open-source hospital price transparency

We just built a data bank of hospital price lists: lists that are supposed to contain all of a hospital's prices. Since 2021, hospitals, by law, have had to post a machine-readable price list with all the procedures they offer. In 2022, do hospitals actually publish their price lists? To know that, we'd have to scour the webpages over over 7,000 hospitals in the US. Then we could figure out what fraction meet the compliance standards. We're just about done building an open database of hospital price lists after launching a weekly data bounty with funds from One Fact and our own marketing budget. Screenshot of a compliant hospital price last that contains all the relevant information. For feedback on this article or for help using the Payless Health price transparency database, please reach out to the article authors Alec or Jaan. Mistakes: an earlier version of this article confused when the price transparency executive order was written with when it went into effect.
