Key Takeaways

Implementation Paths:

  • There are three implementation paths depending on the type of customer you are, this course will focus on scenario 1 where Kyruus Health generates the MRF file and uses that information to populate the cost estimate tool

Connecting Data Files to One Another:

  • The graphic in this video shows a more in-depth chart of how the files connect to one another and how certain values are pulled and mapped to other values 
  • Certain fields/values are pulled from required files and mapped to your Kyruus Connect for Payers tools; understanding how this process works is key to creating the most holistic cost transparency experience 

Implementation Considerations:

  • Scenario 1 clients send all of their data to Kyruus Health using the Kyruus Connect for Payers Price Transparency Data Specification files
  • Implementation path (for scenario 1 clients): Kyruus Health creates your MRF files, hosts them, and uses the data to power the cost estimator tool
  • You need to submit all files listed in the Application Files tab in the Price Transparency Data Specification except: external MFR mapping, covered bundled billing codes, region xWalk (unless you meet the specification that requires these forms)

TiC Data Specification File Overview:

  • This comprehensive file tells you if certain fields are required fields: 
    • If it is required for cost search and/or for MRF, field name, length, characteristics, valid values (if applicable), description of the field, any documentation references, if a field is matched with provider data, MRF fields

Tic Companion Guide Overview:

  • This guide goes through the files required as a scenario 1 client, how these data files are connected and mapped, how Kyruus Connect for Payers uses the data, how to send your data, and how it is related to the user experience

Connecting the Dots:

  • The path for scenario 1 customers: 
  1. Understand your implementation path
  2. Know which files are required for your implementation path
  3. Review how the files connect to come together and deliver against your implementation needs
