Transparent Health
About Us

Closing the Structural Gap in Healthcare Pricing.

We are bringing transparency to self-funded plans by combining price data, quality signals, and real-time routing.

Our Mission

To build the infrastructure that turns fragmented healthcare pricing into real-time, quality-scored care decisions. 1 in 3 American workers faces a $2,000+ deductible; they deserve to know the price before they schedule.

The Challenge

The systemic barriers to modern care delivery.

Market Reality

67% of covered workers are in self-funded plans. Family premiums hit $26,993 in 2025, up 26% over 5 years, outpacing wages and inflation.

Employee Gap

34% of workers face a $2,000+ deductible. Yet they have no tool to surface price differences before they schedule, defaulting to expensive hospital referrals.

Employer Cost

Self-insured sponsors pay every claim directly. Routing just 65 MRIs/year saves over $120K in avoidable spend at $1,850 savings per procedure.

Structural Gap

Carriers have no incentive to make comparison easy. TPAs manage data but don't surface it. We built the missing routing layer.
