Transparency in Coverage: Machine Readable Files
The Transparency in Coverage Final Rules require certain group health plans to disclose on public website information regarding in-network provider rates and historical out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items and services in two separate machine-readable files (MRF). The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to access and analyze data more easily.

The MRFs for the Fordham University Health and Wellness plan be found here and can be identified by the following titles: Fordham-University_index.json and Fordham-University_POS-CHOICE-PLUS_allowed-amounts.json.gz. The files are updated monthly.
