The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury finalized the Transparency in Coverage Rule requiring health insurers and employer self-insured health plans to create a member-facing price comparison tool and post publicly-available machine-readable files. These files must include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services, including prescription drugs. The data in these files are required to be updated monthly.
