Transparency in hospital service pricing.

Wyoming's SF 57, the Hospital Price Transparency Act, requires licensed hospitals to publicly list standard prices for at least 300 "shoppable" medical services (like procedures or supplies patients can schedule in advance) on their websites. Hospitals must display specific charges - including gross charges, discounted cash prices, and negotiated rates - with clear descriptions, in a machine-readable format, and without requiring user accounts or personal information. The Department of Health will monitor compliance and enforce penalties for non-compliance, with hospitals required to update the price lists annually. This directly affects all Wyoming hospitals providing inpatient or outpatient services, aiming to make healthcare pricing more accessible to patients.
