The nation’s largest hospital chains, including publicly traded giants HCA Healthcare Inc., Universal Health Services Inc. and Community Health Systems Inc., and national nonprofit chains CommonSpirit Health and Ascension, said they planned to comply with new requirements to post pricing. Tenet Healthcare Corp. declined to comment.

“Ascension supports price transparency of our hospital services for the benefit of consumer choice and access to care for those we serve,” said Nick Ragone, a spokesman for the St. Louis-based chain.
