Additional Observations

Machine-Readable Price Transparency Files Review

  • MRFs Up-to-Date: βœ”οΈ Yes, the MRFs are kept up to date each month, though each region appears to be updated separately and at different times.

  • Table of Contents Accessibility: βœ”οΈ The Table of Contents link is easily accessible.

  • Table of Contents Formatting: βœ”οΈ Table of Contents is properly formatted.

  • File Download Barriers: βœ”οΈ There are no barriers to downloading the files, though there are mostly zip files that contain thousands of other files, which makes processing a little challenging.

  • File Accessibility Percentage: ❌ 99% of the files are accessible and uncorrupted, there are 5 files that are not accessible, leading to a lower rating.

Overall Assessment: Premera does a great job of posting these files each month with accurate rates. They duplicate provider data substantially, but that can be a result of interpretation of the CMS rules.
