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.

• Enter provider contract negotiations backed by current, market-validated rate data

A Compelling Tool for Self-Insurance Sales
As employers increasingly evaluate self-funded and level-funded options, health plans and their broker partners need compelling, data-driven tools to win that business. Price Transparency Explorer enables sales teams to walk prospective employer clients through a live, interactive map comparison, showing in real time exactly where a proposed self-funded plan outperforms current market rates and where opportunity exists to improve.
