WASHINGTON - s4story -- Healthcare price transparency data has been publicly available since 2022, but the sheer volume and complexity of machine-readable files have kept most health plans from turning it into anything useful. Gigasheet launches Price Transparency Explorer, an AI-powered analytics platform that makes that data actually usable, surfacing competitive rate intelligence, network development insights, and self-insurance sales tools within one intuitive interface.

Competitive Rate Intelligence
Health plans can now easily compare their negotiated rates against the market across any geography, provider type, or billing code, without a data science team or months of manual analysis. Gigasheet's intuitive analytic tools surfaces those insights directly in the platform, so analysts spend time acting on information rather than processing it. The Price Map visualizes rate variation nationwide and zooms to the zip code level in seconds, while the AI-driven Smart Rate engine normalizes data across payers for apples-to-apples comparisons even when underlying contract structures differ.

A Compelling Tool for Self-Insurance Sales
