Dive Brief:
National insurers are generally good at making accurate negotiated rate data available in compliance with federal price transparency rules, although there’s still room for improvement, according to a new analysis from transparent pricing company Turquoise Health.
That’s likely due to large payers having more resources to issue and monitor machine-readable files of rates. Small and regional payers tend to be less successful, Turquoise found.
Still, the company cautioned the results should not be taken as a true measure of compliance, given only states or the HHS can determine that. Instead, Turquoise said its goal with the report is to prevent payer transparency from stagnating or worsening by creating more accountability.
