Wyoming hospitals must post prices online
Beginning July 1, 2026, licensed Wyoming hospitals must post prices for all inpatient and outpatient items and services, by location. They must also list at least 300 services that patients can schedule ahead, or all they offer if fewer. Listings must include service descriptions, codes, regular charges, cash prices, insurer-specific prices, and the lowest and highest negotiated prices without naming payers. Lists must be free, digitally searchable, open to search engines, and available from the hospital homepage without login or personal information. Hospitals must follow federal listing standards and update prices at least yearly, showing the update date; these requirements end July 1, 2029.
Wyoming hospitals face price disclosure penalties
From July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, Wyoming's health department must check hospital price disclosures through complaints, analyses, and website audits. Material violations require notices and department-approved correction plans with deadlines tied to federal rules. Missing federal response or correction deadlines can trigger daily fines. For critical access hospitals, fines are $100 for a first offense, $500 for a second, and $1,000 for later offenses within 12 months. Hospitals paid under prospective payment systems can face $1,000 per day. Price-law violations also allow license conditions, an approved monitor or manager at the owner's or operator's expense, suspended admissions, or license denial, suspension, or revocation. Substantial compliance may count in license renewals. The department must issue implementing rules, with that duty effective upon enactment, and may recommend legislative changes, including responses to federal updates.
