You may soon be able to see the price of your hospital visit before you leave.

The Biden administration is set to begin enforcing a rule that requires hospitals to post prices for many services.

The rule is actually a Trump-era mandate that went into effect at the beginning of the year, but many hospitals ignored.

Patient advocates say having price transparency could better help Long Island residents understand what their insurance is willing to pay for before getting a big bill.

"Even with insurance, there's costs involved, and you may want to find out, here's my insurance, here's what my insurance will pay, could you tell me what the difference will be," says Ilene Corina, of the Pulse Center for Patient Safety.

Under the price transparency rule, hospitals must publicly post charges for at least 300 common services on their websites.
