## HICRIC: A Dataset of Law, Policy, and Regulatory Guidance for Health Insurance Coverage Understanding
**H**ealth **I**nsurance **C**overage **R**ules **I**nterpretation **C**orpus is a collection of unannotated text curated to support
applications that require understanding of U.S. health insurance coverage rules.
It consists of a small, unlabeled corpus of authoritative and non-authoritative text related to law, insurance contracts, and medicine. The corpus is intended for use in pretraining language models and, independently, for use as a standalone knowledge base in retrieval pipelines.
This data repository houses the processed, unlabeled data referenced in a more general work documented here: [https://github.com/TPAFS/hicric](https://github.com/TPAFS/hicric).
### Redistribution
Please consult the licenses for all source data for yourself if you plan to redistribute any of it. To the best of our knowledge, our redistributions abide by all such licenses.
### Risks
We believe there are numerous risks associated with our released data, which we've done our best to mitigate. Our main concerns involve:
- Potential for Propagation of Bias
- Potential for Misuse
Please see our forthcoming paper for a thorough discussion of these perceived risks.
### Limitations
There are many limitations associated with our released data, and our advice is to consider and weigh these limitations carefully to
inform resonsible and effective use. The main categories of limitation are:
- Task Shortcomings
- Simplicity of the Benchmark
- Corpus Deficiencies
Please see our forthcoming paper for a thorough discussion of these perceived risks.
## Dataset Breakdown
Each document in our dataset comes equipped with a set of plain-text _tags_. In constructing the
data we formulated a particular privileged set of partitioning tags: these are a set of tags with
the property that each document in the dataset is associated with exactly one tag in the set,
and none of the tags are unused.
The tags are the following:
- **legal**
- **regulatory-guidance**
- **contract-coverage-rule-medical-policy**
- **opinion-policy-summary**
- **case-description**
- **clinical-guidelines**
In addition to this set of partitioning tags, we intoduce another privileged tag:
- **kb** This tag indicates that a document is suitable for use in a knowledge base.
This is a subjective determination, but the intent is to label text that comes from a reputable,
_definitive_ source. For example, a summary of Medicaid rules as stated by an employee of HHS
during congressional testimony would not be labeled with the `kb` tag, because such testimony is
not the definitive source for the ground truth of such rules. On the other hand, federal
law describing those same rules would be labeled with the `kb` tag.
A high level characterization of the distribution of text in our corpus in terms of these
privileged tags is shown in the table below.
| Category | Num Documents | Words | Chars | Size (GB) |
| -------- | ------------- | ----- | ----- | --------- |
| All Partition Parts | 8,310 | 417,617,646 | 2,699,256,987 | 2.81 |
| kb | 1,434 | 170,717,368 | 1,120,961,295 | 1.13 |
| legal | 335 | 92,357,802 | 596,044,008 | 0.60 |
| regulatory-guidance | 1,110 | 5,536,585 | 38,607,587 | 0.04 |
| contract-coverage-rule-medical-policy | 7 | 196,156,813 | 1,228,184,524 | 1.31 |
| opinion-policy-summary | 2,094 | 19,462,399 | 133,049,956 | 0.14 |
| case-description | 2,629 | 214,267,074 | 1,351,074,791 | 1.45 |
| clinical-guidelines | 2,150 | 81,955,020 | 553,041,990 | 0.56 |
