Under the Transparency in Coverage Rule, issued in 2020 by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, U.S. Department of Labor, and U.S. Department of the Treasury, which is enforced starting 7/1/22, health coverage plans—including those that sponsor employee benefit plans—are required to publish two separate MRFs. These health coverage notices provide valuable information on pricing and services. The first file details the negotiated rates for all covered items and services between the plan or issuer and in-network providers. The second file outlines the allowed amounts paid to, and the billed charges from, out-of-network providers for covered services within a 90-day period. For further information, you can visit these links: https://transparency-in-coverage.uhc.com/ and https://www.aetna.com/health-care-professionals/transparency-in-coverage.html. These links lead to the machine-readable files made available in response to the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule, which includes negotiated service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts between health plans and healthcare providers. Additionally, the information can assist in completing the IRS Form 1095-B, as it helps ensure proper healthcare coverage reporting. The machine-readable files are formatted for easy access and analysis by researchers, regulators, and application developers.
