Abstract:
In the 2024 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we propose to revise regulations at 45 CFR 180.50 related to making public hospital standard charges in an MRF. First, we are proposing to add data elements to be included in the hospital’s MRF and to require hospitals to conform to a CMS template layout. Second, to enhance automated access to the MRF, we are proposing that hospitals include a txt file in the root folder of the public website it selects to host its MRF in the form and manner specified by CMS that includes a standardized set of fields, and a link in the footer on its website that is labeled “Hospital Price Transparency” and links directly to the publicly available webpage that hosts the link to the MRF.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The burden has increased due to an increase in the number of respondents as well as newly proposed information collection requirements. It should also be noted that the initial OMB approval contained the burden estimate for the first year even though the supporting statement contained estimates for the subsequent (second and third) years as well. The initial burden estimate should have been represented as a three year average [(900,300 hours + 276,092 hours + 276,092 hours) / 3 years], for an annual burden estimate of 484,161 hours which is now 328,874 hours.
