Transparency in Health Care Coverage

Machine Readable Files

Transparency in Coverage (TIC) regulations require health insurers and group health plans to create machine readable files (MRFs) which contain the negotiated rates for in-network providers and allowed amounts derived from historical claims for out-of-network providers. These files must be made publicly available. A machine readable file is a digital representation of data or information that can be imported or read by a computer system for processing without human intervention. These files follow the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defined layout and are in the CMS approved format (JSON) and are not meant for a consumer-friendly search of rates, benefits, or cost sharing. To access these files please refer to the links below:
