Benchmark API

Coming Q3 2026

Your Pre-Payment Audit,
Made Smarter.

Real-time peer-rate comparison for any claim during adjudication review. Every claim your team flags, we tell you in real time how that contracted rate compares to what other payers paid the same provider for the same procedure code.

That converts your pre-pay review from “this looks high” to “this is X% above the cross-payer benchmark for this provider” — which is the difference between an opinion and a defensible decision.

Built For

TPAs

Mid-tier TPAs competing against larger competitors with internal benchmarking. Add peer-rate context to your pre-payment review without building a data infrastructure team.

Advocacy Platforms

Lantern, Transcarent, and Centers of Excellence companies whose value proposition depends on data they don't fully control. Own the benchmark.

Payment Integrity Vendors

Zelis, Cotiviti, Claritev, and regional competitors expanding data assets. Two integrations are the threshold where the API becomes a category.
