Interoperability doesn't work if it's just the providers. The payers should be required to do this too. This wasn’t explicitly required by 21st Century Cures but CMS put it under that umbrella which ruled that payers need to abide by the same principles and concepts of 21st Century Cures.

The importance of saying that payers should be making data available and interoperating in the same manner that providers have been required to is a really important part of extending the interoperability ecosystem. In fact, it’s a critical part.
