Patients should be charged the same price when they receive the same medical service, no matter where they receive it.
Unfortunately today, big hospital systems are buying up small physician practices and then charging patients more to receive the same care there. By changing the logos on the door of the physician practices, big hospital systems are making billions more dollars, at the expense of patients. Site-neutral payments will ensure that patients pay the same price for the same service, and will save patients billions of dollars.
