Frequently Asked Questions
How often is Rate Explorer™ data refreshed?
Can I analyze rates directly by billing code?
Do you normalize disparate payer rate formats?
What are some of the ongoing challenges with machine readable files (MRFs)?
Here are a few of the common challenges within price transparency data. Payerset takes care of each of these (and more!) as part of our standard parsing and enrichment processes:
- • Sheer volume — up to 300 TB of new data each month
- • Inconsistent schemas — payers change field names without notice
- • Ghost or 'zombie' rates — rates for services a provider doesn't actually perform
- • Naming and coding variation — inconsistent parent groupings, plan aliases, missing billing codes
- • Update cadence and hosting quirks — links move or lag, some payers omit metadata
