PRA releases supplemental hospital compliance assessment on two Pennsylvania hospitals.

Today, PatientRightsAdvocate.org released a Third Semi-Annual Hospital Price Transparency Report Supplemental Assessment on two Pennsylvania hospitals.

As a supplement to our Third Semi-Annual Hospital Price Transparency Compliance Report, we reviewed two hospitals that have been acquired by Tower Health, Phoenixville Hospital and Pottstown Hospital. In light of both hospitals’ intent to claim tax-exempt status, we thought it prudent to review whether they were in compliance with the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, which serves the public good by enabling consumers – patients, workers, employers, unions, and taxpayers – to lower their costs through transparency, competition, and choice.

Our review found both hospitals to be noncompliant. Both Phoenixville Hospital and Pottstown Hospital seek tax-exempt status while failing to comply with the Hospital Price Transparency Rule.
