The United States Department of Labor (USDOL) has issued updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to address requirements for disclosure on a public Web site of information regarding in-network rates for covered items and services, out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items and services, and negotiated rates and historical net prices for covered prescription drugs. USDOL notes that the information must be disclosed in three separate machine-readable files.
