Price-transparency infrastructure — Matrix (analytics), Signal (usable MRF data), and REST APIs sold to other companies. Enterprise, quote-only, claims-augmented.
A free consumer cost-estimate tool from the nonprofit FAIR Health, built on a database of tens of billions of insurance claims — estimates for ~100 common procedures by ZIP.
