Transparency in Coverage Rule: Machine-Readable Files

The Transparency in Coverage Rule requires health insurers and group health plans to make machine-readable files (MRFs) publicly accessible beginning on July 1, 2022. AmeriHealth Caritas has self-insured medical plans for its corporate U.S. associates administered by Independence Blue Cross.

QCC MRF URL (JSON) 

The data contained in these links is displayed in a .JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file. The JSON format is a technical standard data interchange format that is primarily used for transmitting data between a web application and a server. These files must be opened using a specialized .JSON file reader. If a .JSON file is opened using a standard business application (such as Microsoft Word), the file contents will appear as a large series of alphanumeric characters (similar to .HTML code) that will not be able to be clearly read or understood.

These files are meant to be used by researchers, government entities, and data aggregators to develop comparative data across health insurance issuers.
