Product methodology
Contract Term Library
Source contract, normalization path, entity-graph join, refresh posture, and publication limits for this Branmoor product.
Status
Pending. This product is pending. The methodology page is published first so the source contract and join path are visible before Branmoor represents the product as live.
Distribution Scope
Nationwide; TN prompt-pay and provider-manual slice; Nashville buyer support
Product Question
Extracts contract terms and statutory operating rules from payer/provider materials.
Primary Sources
- Carrier provider manuals — Administrative requirements, timely filing, appeal deadlines
- State prompt-pay statutes — Statutory payment-timing requirements by state
- CMS Conditions of Participation — Federal baseline requirements
- State insurance code — State-level administrative requirements on health insurers
Entity-Graph Join
`payer_id`, `policy_id`, state code, `npi`/provider type, contract clause taxonomy.
Publication Rule
Branmoor does not treat raw public records as the product. A surface is publishable only when the source record is dated, normalized, source-linked, and joined to the relevant Branmoor entity identifiers with enough confidence to state the limits of the result.
Current Methodology Note
Every term is sourced to the provider manual or statute that establishes it; prior versions are preserved with effective dates so a litigator can pull the term that was in force on any past date.
Limits
Coverage follows the underlying source. Missing state portals, gated APIs, PDF-only filings, suppressed fields, lagged agency refreshes, and entity-name ambiguity can all limit product completeness. Pending products are not marketed as live until those limits are documented on the product surface.
