Starset Analytics transforms transparency data into market advantage
Access is a benefit of your Enterprise provider membership.
In a strategic alliance between HFMA and Third Horizon Strategies, Starset Analytics was built to put clear, reliable pricing insight at your fingertips. Provider Enterprise Members get it at no cost—and it’s designed to help hospitals and health-systems boost sustainability, support margin, and stay ahead of the competition.
By turning cumbersome, often-unreliable Transparency-in-Coverage (TIC) files into clean, actionable intelligence, Starset Analytics supports a range of decisions:
- Competitive Market Positioning – See how your prices stack up against national carriers and local peers.
- Strategic Pricing Adjustments – Spot where to defend premium rates or tighten pricing to stay in line.
- Direct Employer Contracting – Size bundled-service rates and negotiate from a position of strength.
- On-Demand Insights for Leaders – Give executives the data they need to win market share—fast.
Why Starset Analytics Matters
- Benchmark instantly: Compare in-network contracted rates across Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna in 414 U.S. markets today, with nationwide BCBS & Elevance coming this summer.
- Slice the data your way: Filter by setting of care, clinical category, or even down to individual billing codes.
- See at a glance: View rates as a % of Medicare or market percentile to gauge competitiveness in seconds.
- Dig into the “why”: Explore reimbursement levels against growing correlates like commercial payer mix and bed size.
- Trust every number: Our proprietary actuarial confidence score filters noise and benchmarks against claims—an industry-first safeguard for TIC data.
