“Hospital Price Transparency Legislation and Published Costs of Breast Reconstruction in Texas.”
Despite a legal mandate, there is still a paucity of price transparency in breast reconstruction on hospital websites. Even when hospitals did post prices, the format was often obfuscated and burdensome to read. Access to price information is limited, with wide variance across procedures and insurers, greatly impairing patients' ability to make informed healthcare decisions.
