Signal Rate Benchmark
Turn CMS transparency data into contract leverage.
Michigan Critical Access Hospitals rarely get the market-rate analysis larger systems take for granted. We audit your published MRF rates against a verified independent-CAH peer set and health plan TiC files — by hand, with AI-assisted tooling, checked before anything ships.
Founder-led. Public-data-only. Every number traceable to source. A one-person, AI-assisted analysis practice. No client roster yet — we’re early, and we say so.
What’s Included
Four parts of a rate audit
Every engagement draws on these, scoped to what your facility and payer mix actually need.
Dual-source MRF & TiC reconciliation
Cross-references your hospital's Machine-Readable Files against health plan Transparency in Coverage disclosures to surface rate variances.
Per-diem vs. DRG yield review
Evaluates stay-duration breakeven thresholds so clinical status decisions align with what your contracts actually pay out.
Verified independent-CAH peer set
Peers cross-checked against ownership, system affiliation, and bed count — not just anyone labeled 'critical access' in a database.
Underpayment flagging against the Medicare floor
Identifies where a commercial payer rate has drifted below the Medicare baseline your contract should be protecting.
See what’s in your own MRF file.
The preview is free and commits you to nothing — a conservative slice of your disclosed rates against a verified peer set, enough to show whether it’s worth going further.
