Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo announced the launch of the Nevada Hospital Price Finder, a new online tool that provides Nevadans with free access to detailed hospital pricing information statewide. The tool is designed to increase transparency and prevent surprise medical bills by allowing consumers to compare prices for various procedures across different hospitals and insurance plans.

Why it matters

The launch of the Nevada Hospital Price Finder is a significant step towards healthcare transparency and accountability in the state. By empowering consumers with clear pricing information, the tool aims to help Nevadans make more informed decisions about their medical care and avoid unexpected costs.

The details
