Transparency in Coverage

Transparency in Coverage Rule MRFs

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) established protections for consumers related to surprise billing and transparency in health care. As part of the “No Surprises Act”, the Transparency in Coverage Rule requires employers and medical carriers make available the machine-readable files (MRF), which contain medical consumer price transparency information. This information must be made publicly available and accessible with no authentication required. 

UnitedHealthcare, our medical carrier, creates and publishes the MRFs on behalf of Progressive Design Inc under the ACEC Life Health Trust.  These MRFs will be posted monthly on transparency-in-coverage.uhc.com. 

For more information, continue to refer to the Transparency in Coverage external page and the Transparency In Coverage FAQs on www.uhc.com which are updated frequently.
