Federal agencies have amplified efforts to enforce healthcare price transparency, introducing stringent guidelines and escalating penalties to ensure compliance. These regulatory updates affect hospitals, insurers, and employers nationwide and demand immediate attention and action to remain compliant.

On February 25, 2025, the Trump administration announced an Executive Order focused on enhancing price transparency in healthcare, a critical step toward empowering patients with clear and actionable pricing information. This initiative is expected to foster competition among providers and payers, ultimately aiming to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient access to care.
