  4. FAIR Health Does Not Set Usual and Customary Fees (UCR) or Reimbursement Levels for Out-Of-Network Healthcare Services. FAIR Health is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization with a mission to enhance the transparency and objectivity of information about provider charges and insurance reimbursement rates for out-of-network care. One of the ways FAIR Health pursues its mission is by licensing data products to researchers and to the healthcare industry. This information provides charges for specific healthcare services, as reported on claims data provided to FAIR Health by payors from all areas of the United States, which are organized by medical, dental and postal codes. FAIR Health does not determine, develop or otherwise set these charges or the reimbursement rates for healthcare services. FAIR Health’s licensees use the licensed data as a tool to help determine their own fees for the out-of-network healthcare services they provide. FAIR Health does not guarantee that service providers will receive the amount that is set as the benchmark charge amounts included in the data products. FAIR Health does not provide advice, legal or otherwise, regarding healthcare insurance or fees related to providing healthcare services.
