Anthem Transparency in Coverage & Machine Readable Files

  • Transparency in Coverage regulations require health insurers and group health plans to create machine readable files that contain the negotiated rates for in-network providers and allowed amounts derived from historical claims for out-of-network providers and make those files publicly available. They must be made available on an open-access website effective July 1, 2022.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE:  A machine readable file is a digital representation of data or information in a file that can be imported or read by a computer system for further processing without human intervention.  While we have posted the open access link as required, it is important to note that these files follow the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defined layout and are in the CMS approved format (JSON) and are NOT meant for a consumer-friendly search of rates, benefits, or cost sharing.  Please refer to the member resources available through anthem.com for this information.

  • The machine readable files are published and updated each month by Anthem via this link: https://www.anthem.com/machine-readable-file/search/
