The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act would make important strides towards addressing some of the most obvious health system failings that have enabled anti-competitive behaviors, prevented healthy competition, and resulted in monopolies that set unaffordable prices, including:

Enacting site neutral payments for drug administration services to help ensure consumers pay the same price for the same service regardless of where the service is performed.
Advancing billing transparency reforms so off-campus hospital outpatient departments are required to use a separate identifier when billing to Medicare to ensure large hospital systems do not overcharge for the care they deliver in outpatient settings
