Are there any websites making the "Transparency in coverage" data available?
The “transparency in coverage” medicare rule was implemented in january of 2022. Since then insurances have to release data regularly on provider rates for covered services.
Though all the insurances release this data publicly now I’m interested in the data from this insurance in particular:
https://hmsa.com/help-center/transparency-in-coverage-machine-readable-files/
The problem is that its all released in files in JSON code. The file from the above link has links to 2374 other JSON files that are compressed into multipart JSON.GZ files and some of these are 25 gigabytes and larger. Literally terabytes of data.
So without any experience I’ve had chatGPT teach me how to access the files but there are no desktop viewers programs that can handle a 25 gb JSON file.
I cant find anyone who is publishing this data in a searchable easy to read format.
Does anyone know of any organization who is making this data available to regular people like me? I want to search it by my NPI number (which I did find in one of the smaller files) but compare it to the rest of the data.
