34 Indiana hospitals aren’t sharing enough pricing information, White House warns

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has warned more than 500 hospitals that they are failing to provide the public with basic pricing information — arguing that the lack of disclosure is keeping healthcare costs higher than they should be.

The Associated Press obtained exclusively the list of hospitals that since April have either received letters of warning or, in more severe cases, requests to submit plans to provide transparent pricing. Failing to comply with the warnings comes with penalties as high as $2 million annually for each recipient that doesn’t create a plan to post clear pricing data.

Central Indiana hospitals that received notices include:

• Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital
• Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center – Carmel
• Ascension St. Vincent Carmel
• Ascension St. Vincent Fishers
• Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis
• Community East
• Community Fairbanks Recovery Center
• Community Hospital of Anderson and Madison County
• Community North
• Danville Hospital
• Marion General Hospital
• OrthoIndy Hospital – Indianapolis
• Valle Vista ...
