For decades, you couldn’t tell if you were overpaying.
Now you can — across every hospital in America.
We mapped 560.4M negotiated prices across 5,454 hospitals in all 50 states against how well each one actually cares for patients — and found that what you pay has almost nothing to do with the quality you get.
One real example of a pattern that holds everywhere: across 1,978 hospitals with CMS quality ratings, price and quality are statistically unrelated — the correlation is −0.10. The stars don’t explain the price. Nothing does, until you can see it.

Every figure traces to a federally mandated machine-readable file. No estimates, no models.
5,454 hospitals,
lit up across America.
Hospital prices were hidden for decades. We put every one of them on the map — so no one has to guess what care costs, or get blindsided by the bill.
Price doesn’t follow quality —
and it never did. You just couldn’t see it.
Across the 1,978 hospitals with both a CMS quality rating and enough published pricing to compare, what a hospital charges has almost nothing to do with how well it treats patients — the correlation is −0.10, statistically nothing. Top-rated hospitals span the entire price range, and 149 of them deliver four- and five-star care at bottom-third prices.
For years that truth sat buried in files no one could read. ClearPrice puts quality and price side by side — so the best value is something you can see, and act on.

We don’t estimate. We don’t model.
Every rate comes from a hospital’s federally mandated pricing file — required by CMS under the Hospital Price Transparency Rule. The law forced hospitals to publish the truth; we made it readable. We normalize the raw machine-readable data, overlay CMS Hospital Compare and HCAHPS quality scores, and fold in 6,839 Medicare Advantage plans — the only place price, quality, and outcomes sit in one view.
Whether you manage millions in claims or just need one honest number — it runs on the same truth.
Benchmark TPA rates against market
See how your client’s negotiated rates compare to the market median — procedure by procedure, hospital by hospital. Bring data their TPA can’t dispute.
