The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) established protections for consumers related to surprise billing and transparency in health care. Under the new rules, health plans must publicly post machine-readable files for in-network rates, out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges, and prescription drug negotiated rates and historical prices.
Through UnitedHealthcare, UMR and HealthSCOPE Benefits creates and publishes the Machine-Readable Files on behalf of Uinta 4's employee health care plan, Wyoming School Boards Association Insurance Trust. While these files are accessible to all, the file itself is large, written in JSON, which is a machine-readable language, and not easily interpreted or searchable.
