Machine Readable File Engine for Payers

Accelerate CMS Compliance for Coverage Transparency

 



CMS Requirements & Challenges

In Nov 2020, CMS finalized the Transparency in Coverage Rule to drive transparencies around payer price negotiations with providers and enable members to access pricing information before they agree to a service.         

As per CMS Rule, By 1st of July 2022, Payers are required to disclose provider-specific reimbursement rates via three Machine-Readable Files (MRFs):

However, Payers are facing significant challenges in generating these Machine Readable Files (MRFs) and meeting the compliance date of 1st July 2022:

  • Silos of pricing information in legacy core admin systems
  • Lack of SMEs within payers who understand both the complexity of payer data and CMS mandates
  • Flexibility to adapt to CMS guidelines for schema changes, to be finalized in Mar 2022
  • Accommodating for plan specific contract arrangements

 

How can we help?

MRF Engine is a platform-agnostic SaaS solution that helps payers accelerate CMS compliance for Coverage Transparency, empowering members to make well-informed decisions.
