In Part 2 of his series this month, he jumps into what we do next with those files.

Today, we are exploring a question about the price transparency data that so many of our customers are very interested in. How are value-based payments or non-fee-for-service arrangements for providers represented in the price transparency MRF data? While the large majority of commercial reimbursements are fee-for-service, Anav Sharma shares how several other contracting arrangements from bundled payments to case rates and capitation are all represented in the MRF data and can be analyzed by the Serif Health team. With so much potential for value-based care to grow in the commercial insurance space and more regulatory updates for payer data requirements on the horizon, we anticipate more and more of these arrangements to emerge in the price transparency data moving forward.
