Further, hospitals generally must publish the standard charges for the services provided by the hospital that may be scheduled in advance.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Additionally, insurance plans must publish the in-network and out-of-network charges for covered items and services and the negotiated prices for covered prescription drugs. Plans must provide a tool for consumers to search for this cost information. Consumers also may request additional information about the costs of specific items or services under their plans.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
