The Trump administration is enforcing hospital price transparency rules, warning hospitals in New Mexico to post their actual costs or risk significant fines. Federal officials said the enforcement applies to more than 500 hospitals nationwide, including three in New Mexico: BHC Mesilla Valley, Guadalupe County Hospital, and Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center.

The administration warned that non-compliant facilities could face daily fines, which could add up to millions of dollars each year. This move is part of a broader effort to increase transparency in healthcare pricing, allowing patients to make more informed decisions about their care.
