Price Transparency: Shifting Responsibility to Employers
In this intriguing video, important advances in transparency of health care prices are explained by Mark Galvin, Founder, President and CEO at TALON at the HCAA conference in Las Vegas.
Two “watershed moments” have been overlooked by most people, while media coverage focuses on other things such as the No Surprises Act.
The first change came when a recent “transparency in coverage” law leverages fines on sponsors (normally employers), who the government hopes will then put pressure on health care providers to be more transparent.
The second came with a class action lawsuit against Johnson & John...

A Look at Sunoh ’ s Ambient Clinical Voice Solutions Including New EHR Integrations

They’re doing this because the benefits of this technology are so impactful on doctors and patients.
