HCCI’s President and CEO Niall Brennan was featured in a Modern Healthcare article on hospital compliance with CMS’s price transparency rule.
From the article: ” ‘Hospitals have opposed this from the get-go. I don’t think they should be facing implementation challenges,’ Health Care Cost Institute CEO Niall Brennan said. ‘These are large, multimillion, and, in many cases, multibillion-dollar corporations with very sophisticated financial accounting departments. There are ways to extract the information. The hospitals that are already complying have proven its not that difficult to extract and post that information.”
