Hospitals opt out of PricePoint over price transparency concerns
Price Hospital CEO Vance Reynolds explains the decision to skip the project because PricePoint uses posted charges, not final patient costs. He notes insurers, plans, and government rates shape what a patient pays, and urges upfront discussions with insurers to determine out of pocket costs. The piece also mentions hospital financial aid and self-pay options. Derrek Asberry is identified as the Aiken Standard beat reporter.
