LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — UofL Health Jewish Hospital and two southern Indiana hospitals are among dozens of facilities in Kentucky and Indiana that received notices from the Trump administration to provide pricing information.
A list obtained by the Associated Press shows 500 hospitals across the country that have received letters of warning or, in more severe cases, requests to submit plans to provide transparent pricing.
UofL Health Jewish Hospital was among three Kentucky hospitals that received corrective action plan requests. The others were Eastern State Hospital in Lexington and Sun Behavioral Health in Erlanger.
Five other Kentucky hospitals received warning letters:
- Cumberland Hall Hospital
- Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Of Lakeview
- Hazard ARH Regional Medical Center
- Marshall County Hospital
- Pikeville Medical Center
Indiana, meanwhile, was among the states with the highest number of warnings and notices at 38, which includes two southern Indiana facilities: Wellstone Regional Hospital in Jeffersonville and Brightwell Behavioral Health in Clarksville.
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.
The Trump administration is arguing that the lack of disclosure is keeping healthcare costs higher than they should be. The letters are meant to fix a fundamental problem that patients, employers and insurers might not know ahead of time the cost of blood work, an imaging test or another form of treatment, and as a result pay more than they should have.
A spokesperson with UofL Health provided the following statement:
"UofL Health complies with all federal price transparency laws and maintains price lists for all our facilities at uoflhealth.org/price-transparency.
"There was mismatch in naming convention with a previous version of a pricing list that referenced UofL Health. It should have referenced UofL Health – Louisville Inc., which is the legal name associated with the Jewish Hospital provider number. That has been corrected and we received notification from CMS that the remedy is compliant. The data transparency on our hospital charges was never at issue."
Encompass Health also released a statement, saying it had "corrected a formatting error at this location. CMS accepted the updated file for this hospital, confirming compliance."
