PriceMedic Core

Analytics-Ready Transparency in Coverage Data

PriceMedic Core is a production-grade, analytics-ready Transparency in Coverage dataset designed to make payer-published reimbursement data usable, transparent, and analyzable at scale.

February 2026 Hospital & Health System Release

Transparency in Coverage, without the infrastructure tax

TiC data is public—but turning it into something usable requires massive engineering effort. PriceMedic Core removes that burden.

Transparency in Coverage was created to benefit patients—by making healthcare pricing visible, comparable, and accountable. In practice, the data has remained inaccessible to everyone except large organizations with significant technical resources.

By making hospital and health system negotiated rates freely accessible in an analytics-ready format, PriceMedic Core lowers the barrier to transparency for patients, researchers, journalists, and advocates—while also enabling deeper analysis for organizations that need full network-wide visibility.

Full-Network Reimbursement Visibility

Analyze how payers reimburse every provider type

PriceMedic Core provides market-wide visibility across all provider types within payer networks:

  • Hospitals and health systems
  • Physician groups and clinics
  • ASCs and outpatient facilities
  • Ancillary and specialty providers

Analyze reimbursement across providers, billing codes, geographies, and networks—with one consistent analytical model.

Hospital & Health System Data — Public by Design

Transparency that serves patients, markets, and accountability

Hospital and health system pricing plays an outsized role in healthcare costs and patient financial outcomes. For transparency to work as intended, this data must be accessible—not buried in hundreds of gigabytes of files.

PriceMedic makes hospital and health system negotiated rates available in an analytics-ready format so patients, researchers, journalists, and policymakers can actually explore and understand how healthcare is priced.

Organizations that need broader visibility—across professional, outpatient, ASC, and full network data—can expand into the complete PriceMedic Core dataset.
