Transparency in coverage

The Transparency in coverage Final Rule (for ease of reference, the "Rule") was published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of the Treasury (DOT) on November 12, 2020. This Rule is applicable to hospitals, health plans and insurance payers, and contains certain regulatory requirements that must be implemented.

The Rule is intended to provide access to information that can be used by health care consumers and others to better understand the cost of health care services and assist with making cost-conscious decisions. The information required to be made available will initially be in "machine-readable" files that will be updated monthly. The machine-readable files (MRFs) are displayed in JSON format as required by the Rule and may not be easily readable. G.E.H.A has provided access to the MRFs through the links below, which contain the following information:

• In-network rates: These files contain a roster of all in-network providers and contracted items and services.
• Out-of-network rates: Historical payments to, and billed charges from, out-of-network providers.

Please note the following when reviewing these files: The in-network MRFs are reflective of all in-network providers and their prevailing contracts with our network partner. These files do not guarantee coverage of any or all services, and many services require the plan's authorization in advance based on the plan's criteria. Please refer to the G.E.H.A plan brochures for the plan's coverage and benefit rules. All benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations and exclusions set forth in the G.E.H.A plan brochures.

G.E.H.A is committed to price and cost transparency, and as such, we believe that all members should understand their projected costs in advance. In addition to the MRFs, G.E.H.A also offers user-friendly cost estimate tools that take into consideration plan design, deductibles and provider contract. For full access to these tools, including the member's specific cost share and accumulators, please sign in to your G.E.H.A member portal.

• Members enrolled in a G.E.H.A HDHP, Standard or High health plan may access the cost estimate tool powered by Healthcare Bluebook.
• Members enrolled in a G.E.H.A Elevate or Elevate Plus health plan may access the cost estimate tool powered by Rally Health.
