  • The Transparency in Coverage Final Rule requires insurers and group health plans to publish machine-readable files starting July 1, 2022. The files contain in-network rates and out-of-network allowed amounts.

    HMO plans do not require any action at this time, as they fall under the fully insured category. BCBSIL will host machine-readable files for fully insured benefits via a link on bcbsil.com. 

    BCBSIL will updated these Machine Readable Files on a monthly basis.  The link above only needs to be placed on the public webpage one time.
