For the last few years I’ve contributed to a side project concerned with curating and maintaining supplemental data related to the Hospital Price Transparency and Transparency in Coverage regulations.
The goal is to make data provided in accord with those regulations more accessible, transparent, and actionable in a maintainable and consistent way.
For example, there are many recent efforts that have attempted to collect all of the underlying price data into databases, and to do so, they need to scrape all of the files served by hospitals, which are unfortunately not required to be centralized. To do that scraping, you need hospital domains, and knowledge of how and where they serve their files. That sort of data is meant to be maintained in this repository.
Just finally got around to adding some new data after a long hiatus, so thought it’d be a nice time to reshare here: https://github.com/TPAFS/transparency-data
Would appreciate your thoughts and feedback!
