Overall Assessment: BCBS Vermont 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, one of the files is inaccessible: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://mrf-download.changehealthcare.com/bcbsvt/files/2024-04-01_BCBSVT_0021_PPO_NON_QHP_EPO_in-network-rates.json.gz
This file is from April and there does appear to be an updated one that is valid for May, so we are not removing a star.
