Methodology

The scorecard evaluates each payer's monthly price transparency data against six quality criteria:

  • If 5–6 criteria pass, the overall rating is Good.

  • If 3–4 criteria pass, the rating is Acceptable.

  • If 0–2 criteria pass, the rating is Poor.

Behavioral, RX, and other specialty networks may not pass all criteria but can still contain complete and usable data.
