70 CMS-Specified Shoppable Services Required by Price Transparency Ruling

During our recent webinar on Price Transparency, some of our participants asked for a list of the 70 CMS-Specified Shoppable Services required in the Price Transparency ruling by the HHS. We have extracted this information from the HHS documentation on the ruling for your convenience.

We were also asked what hospitals should do if they provide less than 300 services.

As a reminder, the ruling indicates that Hospitals must display payer-specific negotiated charges, de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges, and discounted cash prices for at least 300 shoppable services, including 70 CMS-specified shoppable services and 230 hospital-selected shoppable services.

  • If a hospital provides less than 300 shoppable services, the hospital should include as many shoppable services as they do provide.
  • If a hospital does not provide one or some of the 70 CMS-specified services listed below, the hospital is to indicate that the service is not offered by the hospital and select additional shoppable services so that the total number is at least 300.
