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.

The Employee is Confused

No tool in their benefits app surfaces the price before they schedule. They default to whatever hospital their doctor mentioned.

The Employer Gets the Bill

As a self-insured plan sponsor they pay every claim directly. That $1,850 gap per procedure across just 65 MRIs/year = $120K in avoidable spend.

The Gap is Structural

Carriers have no incentive to make cross-site cost comparison easy. TPAs manage data but don't surface it. No one built the routing layer.
