Price Intelligence
Whoa. This is a lot of price data.
We're loading it up for you!
We've already done the hard work of aggregating, normalizing, and structuring pricing data from 5,000+ hospital MRF files. Access it through our API, bulk exports, or custom data pipelines.
What's in the Data
5,000+
Hospitals across all 50 states
3 Price Types
Gross charges, cash, negotiated ranges
CPT / DRG / HCPCS
Standard medical code systems
All data sourced from CMS-mandated machine-readable files — published by hospitals, verifiable by anyone.
Who Uses This
Whether you're building a health tech product, conducting academic research, or running healthcare analytics — we provide clean, structured pricing data so you can focus on your work instead of data wrangling.
Power your product with real hospital pricing data. Build price comparison tools, cost estimators, or transparency features without aggregating MRF files yourself.
Study price variance, market dynamics, and the effects of transparency policy. Structured datasets with consistent schema across thousands of hospitals.
Feed hospital pricing data into your analytics platform. Build market reports, competitive analyses, and trend visualizations for healthcare clients.
What You Get
We handle the messy work of parsing thousands of different MRF file formats, normalizing procedure codes, and structuring the data into a consistent schema. You get clean output.
Download structured pricing data in CSV, JSON, or Parquet formats. Filter by geography, hospital, procedure code, or price type. Updated continuously as hospitals refresh their files.
Programmatic access to hospital pricing data with comprehensive documentation. Search by procedure, hospital, geography, or price type. Paginated responses with consistent schema.
Pricing data aggregated from machine-readable files published by over 5,000 hospitals nationwide. Gross charges, cash/self-pay prices, and published negotiated rate ranges.
Slice the data any way you need — by state, metro area, ZIP code, procedure code (CPT, DRG, HCPCS), hospital type, or price type. Get exactly the subset your analysis requires.
Enterprise-grade uptime guarantees, rate limits scaled to your usage, and dedicated support. We understand that your product depends on reliable data access.
Need the data delivered in a specific format, on a specific schedule, or enriched with additional fields? We build custom pipelines for enterprise and research clients.
Platform Capabilities
From one-time bulk exports for research projects to always-on API access for production applications — we have access tiers that fit your use case.
Volume-based pricing. Academic and non-profit discounts available. Custom SLAs for enterprise clients.
Getting Started
Tell us what you're building, which geographies and procedures matter, and how you want to receive the data. We'll recommend the right access tier and format.
Receive your API key or first bulk export. Full documentation, sample queries, and schema references included. Most clients are running queries within a day.
Integrate our data into your product, research, or analytics workflow. Scale your usage as your needs grow — we handle the infrastructure.
Every record in our dataset is traceable to a specific hospital-published machine-readable file mandated under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule. We do not estimate, extrapolate, or model prices. What hospitals publish is what you get.

States covered
Hospital-published
Estimated prices
Data includes gross charges, discounted cash/self-pay prices, and published negotiated rate ranges. We do not have insurer-specific negotiated rates or claims data. All prices are hospital-published and federally mandated.
Example Use Cases
Price Comparison Tools
Consumer-facing or B2B applications that let users search and compare hospital prices. Power your product with real data instead of estimates.
Academic Research
Study the effects of price transparency regulation, geographic price variance, or the relationship between hospital pricing and quality outcomes.
Market Intelligence
Build competitive analyses, market reports, and trend dashboards for healthcare consulting clients. Structured data that feeds directly into your analytics stack.
Cost Estimation Models
Train ML models on real hospital pricing data. Build cost prediction, episode-of-care estimation, or geographic pricing analysis tools.
Tell us what you're building and we'll recommend the right access tier. Most clients go from first conversation to running queries in under a week.
