Of the 28 hospitals CMS has fined for alleged price transparency violations, only two have bed counts above 550, while 10 have 30 or fewer beds.

CMS bases its civil monetary penalties on hospital bed counts. Fines fall into three tiers:

  • Hospitals with more than 550 beds can be fined up to $5,500 per day.
  • Hospitals with 31 to 550 beds face a daily fine of $10 per bed.
  • Hospitals with 30 or fewer beds may receive a daily fine of up to $300.
