Mizan Price – Hospital Price Transparency Comparison
Help patients and employers compare hospital public pricing files to find better-value care
- Problem
- US hospitals are required to publish pricing files, but they are messy and hard to compare; patients and employers lack price transparency, especially for non-emergency services like rehab.
- Solution
- Automatically parse hospital public pricing files into a standardized, searchable, and comparable interface; filter by procedure, treatment, and location, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs.
- Users
- US patients, employers, insurance brokers, medical tourism consumers
- MVP
- Crawl public hospital pricing files; parse key fields; provide search and comparison UI; show estimated out-of-pocket costs; filter by state
- Revenue
- Free for patients, subscription reports and API for employers and brokers; or affiliate links for medical tourism
- Why now
- US hospital price transparency regulations are rolling out, but data usability is poor; indie developers can build parsing and comparison tools to fill the gap
