What is price transparency?
The Price Transparency Rule is a federal law that took effect in July 2022, requiring all commercial payers to publicly disclose their prices through machine-readable files (MRFs). In short, this regulation mandates that insurance companies make healthcare costs transparent to the public.
Our data comes directly from these insurer-posted MRFs, ensuring compliance with the Price Transparency Rule. While PayerPrice is working toward a future where providers and payers collaborate for 100% upfront price certainty, it's important to acknowledge that data limitations and occasional errors may exist.
