PriceTransparency.io Reviews & Product Details

PriceTransparency.io aggregates and normalizes the machine-readable files (MRFs) that U.S. hospitals are required to publish under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency rule (CMS-1717-F2). Hospitals post these files in inconsistent, often broken formats; we crawl, clean, and standardize them into one queryable index of negotiated, gross, and cash-pay rates across nearly 2,000 hospitals — refreshed quarterly with per-hospital URL-drift monitoring so you always see the latest published prices. Instead of downloading gigabyte-scale JSON files and writing your own parser, you search real prices by procedure (CPT/HCPCS/DRG), by hospital, by payer, or by state. An AI query layer translates plain-English questions ("What does an MRI cost in Dallas across payers?") into structured queries — no SQL or filter-building required. Select any set of hospitals and see who's cheapest per code side-by-side, then export the comparison to CSV/XLSX. Every export ships with a manifest recording the data version, crawl date, and filter state, so analysts and compliance teams can sign off on where the numbers came from. A built-in MRF compliance grade (A–F, scored on code coverage, payer completeness, and format validity) flags hospitals publishing low-quality or non-compliant files before you trust their data. There's no sales cycle: buy a single hospital report for $299 with a credit card and get it instantly, or subscribe for unlimited multi-hospital/MSA comparisons. Who it's for Employers and benefits teams, TPAs and brokers, payers, revenue-cycle and managed-care analysts, healthcare consultants, and researchers who need defensible negotiated-rate benchmarks without an enterprise contract.
