## Resource

A new study reveals that only 35% of Ohio hospitals are truly complying with price transparency laws, leaving patients in the dark about medical costs. Big names like Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and Mercy are among those failing to post clear, actual dollar amounts — instead offering confusing algorithms. While MetroHealth and some Summa hospitals are doing it right, hospitals push back, claiming they meet federal standards or have their own tools. The state’s enforcement arm? Their compliance list for September was blank. With patients still struggling to understand bills and avoid delaying care, the Ohio Hospital Price Finder is your best bet for clarity — but until hospitals step up, the system remains opaque and frustrating.
