With respect to the in-network rate and out-of-network allowed amount machine-readable files, these proposed rules would achieve these goals by adding new contextual files and additional data elements like product type, network name, and enrollment counts; changing the reporting level for aggregation of data; removing in-network rates for unlikely provider-to-service mappings; increasing the reporting period and lowering the claims threshold for out-of-network historical data; and reducing the reporting cadence. These proposed rules would also improve the findability of all of the publicly disclosed machine- readable files required under the Transparency in Coverage rules, including the prescription drug file, by requiring a text file and footer with website URLs and contact information for the files. These proposed rules would also require pricing information that is made available through an online consumer tool and paper (upon request), to also be made available by phone, and establish that the satisfaction of such requirement also satisfies the requirements of section 114 of the No Surprises Act (including for grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage that are not otherwise subject to these proposed rules).","document_number":"2025-23693","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/23/2025-23693/transparency-in-coverage","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-23/pdf/2025-23693.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-23693.pdf?1766178909","publication_date":"2025-12-23","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"},{"raw_name":"Internal Revenue Service","name":"Internal Revenue Service","id":254,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/internal-revenue-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/254","parent_id":497,"slug":"internal-revenue-service"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","name":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","id":131,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/employee-benefits-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/131","parent_id":271,"slug":"employee-benefits-security-administration"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"}],"excerpts":"of individual Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries when CMS <span class=\"match\">data</span> is shared publicly \n 109 \n \n and helps ensure <span class=\"match\">compliance</span> with Federal privacy laws, such as HIPAA, by reducing the risk of re-identification of individuals from aggregated <span class=\"match\">data</span>.\n \n \n \n 107 \n  Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, \n Limited <span class=\"match\">Data</span> Set (LDS) Files, https://www.cms.gov/<span class=\"match\">data</span>-research/files-for-order/<span class=\"match\">data</span>-disclosures-and-<span class=\"match\">data</span>-use-agreements-duas/limited-<span class=\"match\">data</span>-set-lds \n (last modified July 7, 2025); Research <span class=\"match\">Data</span> Assistance Center (ResDAC), \n CMS Cell Size Suppression Policy"},{"title":"Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Marketplace Integrity and Affordability","type":"Rule","abstract":"This final rule revises standards relating to denial of coverage for failure to pay past-due premium; excludes Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients from the definition of \"lawfully present;\" establishes the evidentiary standard HHS uses to assess an agent's, broker's, or web-broker's potential noncompliance; revises the Exchange automatic reenrollment hierarchy; revises standards related to the annual open enrollment period and special enrollment periods; revises standards relating to failure to file and reconcile, income eligibility verifications for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, annual eligibility redeterminations, de minimis thresholds for the actuarial value for plans subject to essential health benefits (EHB) requirements, and income-based cost-sharing reduction plan variations.
