• Transparency in Coverage Information
  Under the Transparency in Coverage Rule, issued in 2020 by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of the Treasury, health plans who sponsor employee benefit plans and health insurance issuers must publish two separate MRFs.

  In Network: Negotiated rates for all covered items and services between the plan or issuer and in-network providers

  Out of Network: Allowed amount paid to, and billed charges from, out-of-network providers for all covered services within a 90-day period
