What is "Payer Price Transparency" Data?"Payer Price Transparency" data refers to the information that health insurance companies (payers) are required to disclose about the prices they have negotiated with healthcare providers for various medical services. This data includes detailed records of the rates for medical procedures, services, and items, as negotiated between payers and providers. It is mandated by regulations such as the Hospital Price Transparency Rule and the Transparency in Coverage Rule. The purpose of this transparency is to empower patients, employers, and other stakeholders to compare prices across different providers and payers, facilitating more informed decision-making and fostering competition in healthcare. Payerset leverages this data to offer comprehensive datasets and self-service data exploration, enabling organizations to use the information for cost management, competitive pricing, and strategic planning​​​​​​.

What’s the Difference Between Hospital and Health Plan (Payer) Price Transparency Data?While both datasets aim to promote transparency in healthcare costs, hospital price transparency focuses on the charges for services directly from hospitals, and health plan (payer) price transparency focuses on the rates negotiated between insurers and all care delivery organizations (including hospitals) and individuals.​​

Does Payerset Handle Schema Drift as Upstream Data Structures Change?Yes. There can be regular schema changes based on payer updates in price transparency compliance. There can also be changes based on updated CMS rules. We normalize the data before you receive it, so we handle these changes for you. We will never remove fields, as that would affect your downstream processes, but we may add fields based on new requirements.
