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 but the file is unnecessarily large, repeating plans and networks hundreds of thousands of times, and file references many millions of times.
Table of Contents Formatting: ✔️ Yes, the Table of Contents is properly formatted.
File Download Barriers: ✔️ No barriers to downloading the MRFs.
File Accessibility Percentage: ❌ 99% of the files are accessible.
One thing to watch out for is that there are many links that have different URL parameters but point to the same files, so it's best to ensure you're only parsing the root files or you will end up with 10k+ instead of ~1k files
Overall Assessment: Elevance does a great job of posting these files each month, though there are a lot of them and the Table of Contents is unnecessarily large. Additionally, they duplicate provider data substantially, but that can be a result of interpretation of the CMS rules.
