As defined by the federal government, shoppable services are those that are routinely provided in non-urgent situations that do not require immediate action or attention to the patient, thus allowing the patient to price shop and schedule a service at a time that is convenient for them.</span></p><p><span>Additionally, the Price Transparency Final Rule states that charges for shoppable services should be displayed as a grouping of related services. This means that the charge for the shoppable service (primary service) is displayed along with charges for ancillary items and services the hospital typically provides along with the primary shoppable service. For example, the estimate may include charges frequently associated with the requested procedure such as laboratory or facility fees. This helps consumers see the cost of the service in the same way they experience the service.</span></p><p><span>While shoppable services are those that </span><em><span>can</span></em><span> be scheduled in advance, they are not services that are </span><em><span>always</span></em><span> scheduled in advance. For example, certain imaging or laboratory tests can be scheduled in advance in non-emergency situations, but would not be in an emergency situation. A hospital may include these services in its list of shoppable services, even though they are not shoppable in all situations.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion-item"><h2 class="accordion-header" id="accordion-heading-5944"><button data-faqTopic="About the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule" class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#accordion-collapse-5944" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-collapse-5944"> Terms to know </button></h2><div id="accordion-collapse-5944" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="accordion-heading-5944" data-bs-parent="#accordion-5953"><div class="accordion-body"><div class="widget__container body-content paragraph paragraph--type--basic-content paragraph--view-mode--default"><div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span>Healthcare terminology may be confusing, especially when you’re navigating insurance codes and billing information.

The law applies to patients with coverage through a disability insurer, group disability insurer, blanket disability insurer, hospital service corporation or medical service corporation that provides health insurance in Arizona.
