Just to throw out a possible next step to put pressure on the payors: consider reaching out to the CMS technology ombudsman to ask if you can CC him on a round of follow-up inquiry emails.

His nominal role is to assist with Medicare-related matters, but given that the ostensible goal here is to compare rates (and most payors define rates as a percent of Medicare), I think the request wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.

Similarly, might be possible to get some congressional offices to lend their weight. Happy to personally lend a hand with the outreach if there’s interest.
