About this grade. PayerScore is a modeled index and an opinion derived from disclosed public data, not a statement of fact about the payer's conduct. It is computed by deterministic method (v1.0.0) from public federal IDR dispute records (CMS Public Use File) and documented public rate positions vs the local peer median. These are federal independent-dispute-resolution records, not court judgments or litigation. Figures are modeled, not guaranteed. See the methodology.
