Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr.
Mehmet Oz warned hospitals to comply with federal price transparency requirements or face financial penalties, saying more than 500 facilities have already been identified as failing to meet the standards.
In a post on X, Kennedy said hospitals had kept Americans "in the dark" about the true cost of care for years and vowed stricter enforcement of transparency requirements.
The post linked to a video featuring Kennedy and Oz outlining the administration's enforcement efforts.
