That's a 7x price spread your clients don't know about — until you show them.

Why This Matters

Data That Wins RFPs

Every advocate and broker talks about cost containment. You can show it — with verifiable hospital pricing data that quantifies the savings opportunity for each client or prospect, specific to their geography.

Quantify Savings

Show clients and prospects exactly how much price variance exists in their markets with percentile benchmarks. Turn “we can save you money” into a specific dollar number backed by hospital-published data.

Win RFPs Faster

The RFP builder generates complete responses with market data pre-filled. Attach variance reports and negotiation briefs that demonstrate your data advantage over competing firms.

Retain Clients

Quarterly narrative packs, variance trend tracking, compliance monitoring, and billing dispute support give clients ongoing reasons to stay. You become their market intelligence source.

What You Get

Your Complete Advocate & Broker Dashboard

Every tool you need — from first client or prospect meeting to quarterly review — in a single self-serve dashboard.

Price Variance Reports

Generate client-ready reports showing min-to-max price spreads with p25/p50/p75/p90 benchmarks for any procedure, any market. Export as CSV, Markdown, or copy straight into a slide deck.

RFP Response Builder

Select from templated RFP sections — network analysis, cost containment, transparency strategy — and generate a completed response with market data pre-filled. Export as PDF or Markdown.

Hospital Negotiation Analysis

Compare hospitals head-to-head with leverage scores, value grades, and suggested target prices. Generate negotiation briefs your team can take directly into provider meetings.

Billing Dispute Support

Paste a claim and get instant overcharge detection against market benchmarks. Generate dispute packets with 501(r) compliance checks, appeal letters, and supporting price evidence — downloadable as PDF.

Episode-of-Care Estimator

Bundle multiple procedures into a single episode — knee replacement, colonoscopy with biopsy, etc. Compare total-cost estimates across hospitals nationwide, by ZIP, state, or named facility.

Quarterly Packs & Client Management

Save client profiles, track variance snapshots over time, and generate quarterly narrative packs with executive summaries, prioritized procedures, and broker talk tracks. PDF or Markdown export.

Compliance Monitoring

Track which hospitals in your client's markets are publishing compliant price files. Get state-by-state compliance summaries and grade distributions across provider networks.

Bulk Data Exports

Download pricing data in CSV or JSON for custom analysis or integration with your existing tools. Filter by geography, procedure category, or code type (CPT, DRG, MS-DRG).

Embeddable Price Search

Embed a hospital price comparison tool directly in your client portals via iframe. Configurable theme and accent colors to match your branding.

Use Cases

How Advocates, Brokers & TPAs Use Our Data

RFP Responses

Build complete RFP responses from templated sections with market-specific pricing data pre-filled. Export as PDF and send — no copy-pasting from spreadsheets.

Provider Negotiations

Walk into negotiations with leverage scores, value grades, and target prices backed by market percentiles. Compare hospitals head-to-head to find the strongest position.

Billing Disputes

Detect overcharges by comparing billed amounts to market benchmarks. Generate dispute packets with appeal letters, 501(r) compliance checks, and price evidence — ready to send.

Quarterly Reporting

Episode-of-Care Estimates

Bundle procedures into episodes and compare total costs across facilities. Show clients the all-in price difference for a knee replacement or GI workup, not just a single line item.

Plan Design & Reference Pricing
