For anyone looking to download the data, here are a few links:

Empire Blue (Anthem): https://www.empireblue.com/machine-readable-file/search/

United Healthcare: https://transparency-in-coverage.uhc.com/

Aetna (Seems like the right page, but I don't see any download links — possibly because they haven't been posted yet): https://health1.aetna.com/app/public/#/one/insurerCode=AETNA...

Search keywords: https://www.google.com/search?q=machine+readable+files+trans...

Thank you thank you thank you!

Here's Cigna: https://www.cigna.com/legal/compliance/machine-readable-file...

UCLA Health keeps theirs: https://uclahealth.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/price-transpar...

But sadly, still can't find my insurance company's download links.

I can't wait to lose a weekend doing something with this data, it's a dream dataset and a perfect example of a very narrow type of project I love doing.

Is there a canonical list of the major insurance companies?

Cigna posted a single 570GB gzipped JSON that barely qualifies as machine-readable

So are there programs I can use to parse this? It looks like a json file with links to more gziped json files...

Yup! Should be pretty easy to whip up a parser, it's just JSON and HTTP, you could do it in shell if you cared to. The challenge is what are you parsing it _to_. That is to say, what's your data model. I'd choose that first, then worry about parsing.

...it is unfortunately.

If you know a language you could run through it. Otherwise ypu might be able to find something like a json to csv converter online

Hey has anybody created and open API or just downloaded it all to a single source?
