Transparency In Coverage
Under the Transparency in Coverage Rule, issued in 2020 by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Department of Labor and Department of the Treasury, effective 7/1/22, health insurance plans are required to publish machine-readable files (MRFs) that include the information outlined below. The MRFs are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data, and will be updated on a monthly basis.
- In Network: Negotiated rates for all covered items and services between the plan or issuer and in-network providers.
- Out of Network: Allowed amount paid to, and billed charges from, out-of-network providers for all covered services within a 90-day period.
