Background on this ruling

On November 12, 2020, the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Treasury published the “Transparency in Coverage" final rule (Final Rule), imposing new requirements on group health plans and health insurers in the individual and group markets. It also applies to Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. The Final Rule follows the Hospital Price Transparency final rule, which requires hospitals to make public a variety of pricing information and went into effect on January 1, 2021.
