# Select Health

This data contains the price transparency machine-readable files provided by Select Health that have been normalized into easy-to-use tables.

### Payerset Notes

**Table of Contents**

<https://mrf.payerset.com/select-health>

{% hint style="info" %}
We have created a Table of Contents in order to make the files parseable, but **please note** that this does not come from Select Health and **may have incorrect or missing data**. This is intended for us and others to be able to parse the negotiated rates as part of our standardized process.

You can find the Table of Contents we created at this link:

### 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 Accessibility:** ❌ Select Health does not provide a standard Table of Contents. Payerset has created one to enable parsing.
* **Table of Contents Formatting:** ❌ Select Health does not provide a standard Table of Contents.
* **File Download Barriers:** ✔️ No barriers to downloading the MRFs.
* **File Accessibility Percentage:** ✔️ 100% of the files are accessible.

**Update November 2024**

Select Health spells billing\_code\_modifier incorrectly in their files, which deviates from the standard schema and causes parsed data to be missing this critical field. Additionally, having gone through \~10 million records manually, this field is not populated, which leaves me to believe that the process they are employing is also not entering the data values either.

**Overall Assessment:** Select Health has not created a Table of Contents, which makes the data difficult to get. For smaller payers, this is less of an issue, as the Table of Contents can be easily crafted, but it was a very large effort to craft a Table of Contents for Select Health and we are not sure it's 100% correct because we had to make some assumptions. Additionally, we only included "in network files" as those are what typically contain the rates (and there are many rates for Select Health in these files, all of which are accessible and updated) but there could be other naming conventions we are not aware of.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payerset.com/payers/select-health-price-transparency.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
