While you scrub fireworks and ice cream out of our eyes, why not also take a look at #pricetransparency compliance stats this fine Monday morning? From last Wednesday to today, the number of new schema-compliant hospitals has more than doubled from ~12% -> 25.2%! That's nearly 1,500 individual providers already in full compliance with the schema according to CMS's own validator. https://lnkd.in/gNNnhgVn

In a surprise to literally everyone, Oregon now claims the top spot in the race for #pricetransparency compliance. Home of Nike, looks like they finally decided to Just Do It. Alaska still not making the most of those daylight hours, languishing in 2nd place. Maybe they're more of a night owl? Iowa, briefly sitting pretty in 1st, is now resting on their laurels in 3rd place. Special mention to Washington DC for being the "state" in 4th place. While residents of DC continue their fight to become the 51st state, we're happy to bring Pluto back and finally give them a moment in the State sun. How do we think this will play out over the weekend?? https://lnkd.in/gNNnhgVn

We launched a Live MRF Tracker to celebrate yesterday's regulation effective date. This morning, we're seeing lots more systems joining the party already! Looking state by state, Alaska has taken the lead as the most compliant state (so far!) with Iowa, D.C., Oregon, and California trailing close behind in our top 5. Go check out which systems are making those numbers jump: https://lnkd.in/gNNnhgVn *Since results will show up in real-time as our team validates each hospital's files, keep hitting refresh to see those numbers change! #pricetransparency #compliance #hospitals

Nothing quite like a Monday to ring in some newly effective legislation! Today marks another round of updates to hospital #pricetransparency regulations that highlight even more transparency into the cost of care in the US While we tabulate the shoppable numbers, we encourage you to join us as we sit back and hit refresh every hour on the hour on our newest, real-time compliance indicator: the Live MRF Tracker https://lnkd.in/gZ_Bjk5h

That Friday afternoon "preparing for the weekend by browsing an analysis of CPI and commercial rate data" feeling 🎉

Can't stop won't stop preparing for the 7/1 deadline that's just around the corner. This week, listen in as one of our MRF connoisseurs, Carol Skenes, joins The Wilshire Group IT RevCast to talk all things service packages, consumer-friendly experiences, and a smattering of the other topics that may one day come up at a price transparency trivia event we're still waiting to happen somewhere at some point, eventually, maybe, possibly. Thanks for hosting, Evan Martin and Daniel Bianchini!

Curious about our weekend plans? Not too much, we'll just be posted up on our couches reading about the theory of hospital MRF generation. Stave off your FOMO by perusing the Turquoise Hospital MRF Documentation knowledge repository, live now! We can't imagine anything more interesting hitting your queue. Consider canceling your plans. https://lnkd.in/ehSwu476

In the battle for the lowest anesthesia negotiated rate, we've got a bit of a Cinderella story. Who would have thought the lowest rate would be from a physician group from our beloved home state, California?! Said another way, did you know California Anesthesia Partners provides anesthesia for the cost of 1.5 Erewhon smoothies?
