The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury (the Departments) released final transparency in coverage regulations for group medical plans and health insurance issuers on October 29, 2020. The intent of the final transparency regulations is to provide a consumer with access to information on the cost of health care services before that consumer receives health care services, rather than after care is received. There are two main components – a requirement to provide personalized cost-sharing information and a requirement to make certain cost information publicly available on a website:

  • In-Network Rate File: shows negotiated rates for all covered items and services between BCBSIL and in-network providers
  • Allowed Amounts File: shows both the historical payments to, and billed charges from, out-of-network providers

This information will be updated monthly by BCBSIL, our administrator and claims processor. For more information, please click here (https://www.bcbsil.com/asomrf?EIN=363538416)
