The Texas legislature mandated that hospitals list their actual prices rather than estimates, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has now issued its regulatory compliance notice.
A hospital must post its chargemaster, a list of standard charges for services, on a shoppable online webpage that is free to access and readily available. It must be accessible through a search engine, provide a search function for the price list, and be reachable without having to create an account.
