Step by step

Before you start. The app reads rates for the payers named on the payer pages of payortransparency.com, and for the HCPCS codes in its code bundles.

  1. Click your initials at the top right, then choose Profile & preferences.
  2. Click the Code bundles tab. Each card names a bundle, such as Urological, Ostomy Supplies or OTS Knee, and lists its codes.
  3. A long code list ends in a count such as +11 more. Click the list to show every code.
  4. The line under the codes gives how many payers filed rates for that bundle, the latest month and the number of rate rows.
  5. On Rate Watch, the Payers tile shows how many payers have rates for the place on screen.

What you see. Codes your workspace does not hold show under Not in your bundles on Rate Watch, below the table.

Tip. The payer pages in the Code Hub on payortransparency.com describe what each payer publishes.
