Information on enforcement actions as a result of CMS' assessment of a hospital's compliance with the Hospital Price Transparency regulations.

Overview

The Hospital Price Transparency Enforcement Activities and Outcomes dataset contains information related to enforcement actions taken by CMS following a compliance review of a hospital's obligation to establish, update and make public a list of the hospital's standard charges for items and services provided by the hospital, in accordance with regulation (45 CFR 180).

This data set includes the name of each hospital or hospital location, the hospital or hospital location address, the outcome or action following a CMS compliance review and the date of the outcome or action taken.

Actions:

  • Met Requirements: The hospital was reviewed by CMS and no deficiencies were cited. This category includes hospitals that were found to be in compliance upon CMS' first review.

  • Administrative Closure: Refers to the termination of compliance review activities due to reasons such as, but not limited to, a hospital has ceased operations, closed its physical location, is not subject to the HPT requirements, or has already been deemed to meet the requirements.

  • Warning Notice: The hospital was reviewed by CMS and deficiencies were cited in a warning notice issued to the hospital.

  • CAP Request: The hospital was reviewed by CMS and deficiencies were cited in a request for a corrective action plan (CAP) issued to the hospital.

  • Closure Notice: CMS determined that the hospital corrected previously identified deficiencies and issued a closure notice to the hospital.

  • CMP Notice: CMS issued a civil monetary penalty (CMP) to the hospital if the hospital failed to respond to CMS' request to submit a corrective action plan or comply with the requirements of a corrective action plan. CMP notices are publicized.

  • Appealed: The hospital filed an appeal of CMS' decision to issue a civil monetary penalty.
