Additional Observations
Machine-Readable Price Transparency Files Review
MRFs Up-to-Date: ✔️ Yes, the MRFs are kept up to date each month.

Table of Contents Formatting: ✔️ Yes, the Table of Contents is properly formatted.
File Download Barriers: ✔️ No barriers to downloading the MRFs.

Several Dental files (apparently hosted by UnitedHealthcare) are inaccessible. This does not impact their overall rating, but is an area to address.
Overall Assessment: Blue Shield California 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.
