Machine Readable Files
The Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services issued the Transparency in Coverage final rules (85 FR 72158) on November 12, 2020. These rules require non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers, including Providence Health Plan, to disclose certain pricing information like in-network negotiated rates, billed amounts and out-of-network allowed dollars through machine-readable files posted on an internet website.
We are committed to ensuring that machine readable file data is produced consistently and correctly. This is important data, and we take our responsibility not only to produce it but to do so accurately very seriously. Like nearly all insurers across the healthcare industry, we have come up against significant technical and logistical difficulties to make these files accessible and are continuing to work through some of these challenges.
Below you will find Machine Readable Files for our fully insured and administrative services only customers. We will update these files regularly.
