Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Guideline:
CMS requires hospitals to comply with the Transparency Requirement of the Affordable Care Act. Since January 2019, hospitals, including critical access hospitals like Tomah Health, must make available a list of their current standard charges to the public.
- Via the internet
- In a machine-readable format
- Must update this information at least annually or more often as appropriate
