BILLINGS - The Billings medical corridor is in constant âbuilding modeâ to meet the needs of a growing community, but if youâve driven down North 27

The huge addition and a team of trained medical experts will soon support a whole new environment for the regionâs tiniest patients and their families. The money raised from this yearâs Billings Clinic Classic Fundraiser will go toward the $3.5 million capital campaign to build a new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the hospital.

A Trump-era law meant to drive down health care costs through increased price transparency is proving ineffective in creating competition between hospitals.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Price Transparency rule aims to lift the veil over hidden health care prices by requiring hospitals to publish the price of common health care services. The prices must be publicly available in a âmachine readableâ spreadsheet, referred to as a chargemaster, of gross charges, discounted rates for those without insurance and payer specific negotiated rates.
The rule also requires hospitals have a consumer-friendly cost estimation tool of standard charges for at least 300 âshoppableâ services, or services that can be scheduled in advance such as a knee replacement or a colonoscopy. CMS established 70 required procedures, but the remainder are left up to hospitals to decide its most common procedures.
