Overall Assessment: BCBS Tennessee does not post until the end of each month, but does keep up with posting their data. There is a link in their table of contents that is invalid (https://d7k0rj9u1dp84.cloudfront.net/TCR_Output_JSON/C_$folder$) but this appears to be a result of a system error and we don't feel it's valid. They duplicate provider data substantially, but that can be a result of interpretation of the CMS rules.

Customer Anecdotes

A customer has noted that for some codes, BCBS Tennessee includes many hundreds of rates for the same providers/modifiers. This is likely a mistake, as much of the data is clean, but it is important to note that this does cause BCBS Tennessee to be out of compliance.
