Medical Plan Machine Readable File (MRF)
WCGME’s Medical Plan Machine Readable File (MRF) can be accessed using the following link: alliedbenefit.sapphiremrfhub.com
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Transparency in Coverage Rule requires health plans to create a member-facing price comparison tool and post publicly available machine-readable files. These files must be updated monthly and include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services, including prescription drugs. The purpose of this Rule is to help you know the cost of your health care before receiving the care.
