## Provisions PRIA read

- Monthly public plan price files: benefit, high. If enacted, each health plan would have to publish three machine-readable files every month starting January 1, 2027. File one would list per-item and service in-network rates by provider (NPI). File two would list drug in-network rates and the plan's historical net price (rebates/discounts) for a…
- Plan data access and vendor rules: benefit, high. If enacted, group health plans and issuers would be able to get full claims, payment, rebate, and pricing-methodology data from TPAs, PBMs, and other service providers. For plan years starting two years after enactment, service providers must deliver this information at no cost at least quarterly i…
- Patient billing notices and cost tools: benefit, medium. If enacted, providers would have to give a written notice with any payment request telling you how to get an itemized bill. After final payment by a third party, the itemized bill must be provided within 30 days and show plain-language descriptions, billing codes, billed amounts, payments made, and…
- Provider price postings and cash rates: benefit, medium. If enacted, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinical labs, and many imaging providers would have to post standard charges and consumer-friendly price files online. Hospitals would publish monthly starting January 1, 2026 and must list at least 300 shoppable services through December 31, 202…
- State price-transparency protections kept: mixed, low. If enacted, the federal price-transparency rules would not override state laws that require or ban price transparency, unless a state law prevents the federal rule from applying. The provision also says it does not change how ERISA group health plan rules apply.
