“Before working with Medlyze, we were struggling through payer negotiations with no visibility in market rates and little leverage to improve our low reimbursement rates. Medlyze provided the exact support we needed by exposing competitor rates and delivering a clear contract negotiation strategy, finally giving us the data to align our approach. Now, we are positioned to increase our rates with our current payer and have a replicable strategy for future contracts with companies like Cigna.”

Use it to set a price, prepare for a negotiation, choose a payer or state, check a payer’s proposal, or explain a number internally.

The risk of deciding without it

What changes when the decision is made on the rate of record.

Here is the difference between assuming the answer and holding it.

DecisionDecided on assumptionDecided on the rate of record
Setting a launch pricePrice points rest on assumptions and a few conversations.Price points are set against what payers pay for your code, payer by payer and state by state.
Walking into a renewalThe conversation starts with the payer’s numbers.It starts with comparable rates and a list of where to push.
Choosing the next payer or statePriorities follow relationships and anecdote.Priorities follow where rates and coverage support the move.
Checking a payer’s proposalIt is accepted or rejected on instinct.Each proposed rate is seen against the market, code by code.
Explaining a number internallyNobody can say where it came from.Every rate has a source you can open.
Check a code you bill

Pick a code. See what payers and hospitals have published for it.

One view of all four sources. Hospitals and payers show the tracked universe by file-quality grade. Medicare is every fee schedule in every locality; Medicaid is every non-MCO state. Every rate keeps its source and the date the source says it took effect; each delivery is built to your scope and stamped with the pull date.

How it works

One format for every source.

A payer’s negotiated rate, a hospital’s negotiated rate, a Medicare rate and a Medicaid rate become the same record: the rate, its source and when the source says it took effect.

  • 1
    The rate.With its type and modifier, so rental, purchase and used are never mixed.
  • 2
    The source.The public file it came from: a hospital, a payer, Medicare or a state.
  • 3
    The effective date.When the source says the rate took effect. The record holds the latest published rate.
  • 4
    The check date.When Medlyze last confirmed it against the source. Hospital and payer records add a file-quality grade from A to F.

Delivery

Built to your scope, from the latest published files.

Tell us the codes, payers and states. We produce the record for them, with each rate’s source and date.

What you may be thinking

Where do the commercial and hospital rates come from?

From the files payers and hospitals are required to publish: 200+ payers’ negotiated-rate files and the price transparency files of 5,600+ hospitals. We collect, match and check them, then add Medicare and Medicaid for reference.

Is the demo real data?

Yes. The rates in the demo are real: New York payers’ August 2026 negotiated-rate files and New York hospitals’ price transparency files, for three inpatient codes. Your request covers the payers, hospitals and codes you name, with Medicare and Medicaid, each with its source.

We already have benchmarks.

A benchmark compares. The rate of record shows the rate and where it came from. Send three codes and the benchmark you use, and we reconcile them.

We already have consultants.

Bring them. They can work from the same record, so what they cite and what you cite match.

These files are public.

They are, and they are enormous and inconsistent. The work is collecting payer and hospital files, matching them to your codes and providers, and checking them, so you get an answer instead of a pile of files.

Is my data safe?

You send codes and payers to start. Contracts are loaded securely, with you.

Start with the decision in front of you.

Send the codes, payers and states involved. We return the latest rates on record, each with its source.
