You're negotiating millions in contracts blind.
For decades, hospitals have negotiated payer contracts without knowing what their competitors are paid for the very same care. That information gap costs health systems millions in under-negotiated rates every contract cycle. SumHealth closes it.

You can't negotiate what you can't see
Price transparency mandates put every negotiated rate into the open, but raw MRF files are hundreds of gigabytes of unusable data. The problem isn't access. It's making it actionable.
Negotiating in the dark
Without peer benchmarks, contracting teams accept payer offers with no objective sense of whether the rate is fair, low, or leaving real revenue on the table.
Silent underpayment
Rates that drift below market compound year over year. A single under-negotiated service line can quietly cost a system millions across a contract's life.
Unusable raw data
The MRF data exists, but parsing terabytes of inconsistent JSON across thousands of payers is a data-engineering project most contracting teams can't staff.
Reacting too late
By the time you discover a rate gap, the contract is signed. Without continuous monitoring, you find out at renewal, years after the leverage was lost.
Turn transparency data into negotiating power
SumHealth normalizes the entire nationwide pricing dataset so your contracting team can see exactly where every rate stands, before the next negotiation.
See what peer hospitals are actually paid
Compare your negotiated rates against the market at the CPT and DRG level (by payer, plan type, and geography) so every negotiation starts from evidence.
- Benchmark rates against peers sharing your payers
- Build a data-backed case for rate increases
- Spot underpayment risk by payer and service line
- Monitor contract performance after execution
Map your rate position across every market
Multi-site systems use Rate Atlas to find geographic rate gaps across their footprint and build a market-by-market renegotiation strategy.
- Compare rates across all your markets at once
- Prioritize sites farthest below benchmark
- Build a ranked renegotiation pipeline by geography
Turn benchmark gaps into signed rate increases
Pair SumHealth data with our reimbursement experts to convert the rate gaps the data reveals into a concrete, defensible negotiation strategy.
- Build a prioritized renegotiation roadmap
- Translate benchmark gaps into negotiation asks
- Bring expert support to high-stakes renewals
