Machine-Readable Price Transparency Files Review
MRFs Up-to-Date: ✔️ Yes, the MRFs are kept up to date each month.
Table of Contents Accessibility: ✔️ The Table of Contents link is easily accessible.
Table of Contents Formatting: ✔️ Yes, the Table of Contents is properly formatted.
File Download Barriers: ✔️ No barriers to downloading the MRFs.
File Accessibility Percentage: ✔️ 100% of the files are accessible - though there is one file with an unsupported extension, but we believe this is not a "real" MRF.
Overall Assessment: BCBS Michigan does a great job of posting these files each month. They duplicate provider data substantially, but that can be a result of interpretation of the CMS rules.
As of May 2024, there is a single file that has invalid JSON, but it appears to be an old file from April, specifically this file: https://bcbsm.sapphiremrfhub.com/mrfs/202405/2024-04-08_BCBSMI_IH0000000015_ffs_in-network.json.gz_14016f858662e4a37ed266f4f29eb7a54ad44ae1
